Great portfolio - I love 'playing with fire'. It is interesting that you focused on the logs instead of the flame... maybe its common sense to you but it never occurred to me. I'm going to try it in my next fire!

Kenneth Fugate , December 30, 2005; 09:35 P.M.

Happy New Year! Thank you for all your support and comments on my photos in 2005. May 2006 be a very good year for you and your family, Best wishes from Dallas Texas

Melissa Zavadil , April 13, 2006; 08:06 P.M.

Cyrus you know what I like best about your style and gallery is the color! This is one aspect that SO very few photographers actually have a great handle on! It is so easy to turn a photo into black and white because there is something that is 'kinder to the eye' in regards to the photo viewing. BUT it is the photographer that has the 'gift of color' that controls all aspects of life within a frame :)

Your work with fire is outstanding :) Love the movement :)

cyrus K , April 20, 2006; 04:04 P.M.

Thank you

Birte and Melissa for your encouraging words. It was so kind of you to stop by.

Stacey Yawn , August 07, 2006; 12:51 P.M.

Cyrus-

Thank you for viewing my photo and your suggestions on editing helped me a great deal!! I have alot to learn. I have a photo i would like you to look at when you can, I submitted yesterday(sitting boy). What would you do to improve this image? I think I should have taken some off the top? Your portfolio is amazing, i loved everything I saw!! Thanks!

Stacey Y.

Stacey Yawn , August 08, 2006; 11:37 A.M.

siiting boy

Cyrus,

Thank you for your help, the edits look great. I made the shot with digital Rebel XT, 75-300 telephoto lens. I would love to know what editing software program you use or recommend. When using canon digital professional, I am somewhat satisfied after editing, but when printing, the print preview looks very yellow and washed out and this is the way it prints- totally different from the shot taken and edited. Thank you again, I appreciate your advice, it's very helpful.

Stacey Y.

cyrus K , August 12, 2006; 04:17 A.M.

Stacey,

The print not matching what you see on the screen is a VERY common problem when there is no calibration of monitor and printer.I will have to send you an email as this is a bit involved, unfortunately! Please tell me what printer you are using as this helps me be better prepared. So, please watch for my email whithin the next 24 hours. Best regards.

Michael Sullivan , September 14, 2006; 04:31 A.M.

Cyrus, I enjoyed viewing your portfolio. You use color so well in your photos. Your pictures of Victoria are very sweet. Photographing my kids is my favorite thing to do. I really appreciated your input on my "Shallow" photo. I wish you all the best.

Ali Soltani Farani , September 18, 2006; 07:28 A.M.

I am honored to have your comment on "Sheikh lotf-ollah Mosque", and glad to see you here.

Your photos are colorful and very well composed. I love your case studies as in fire and water.
The fires you pictured are so much Iranian.(booie eshghe vatan darad)
Portraits are great, and your love for nature is greatly shown.

I await more of your work.

Awesome macro photo ! And nice to see other experimentations, like water and fire, i see you love beautiful and colored pictures. A very nice portfolio, very pleasant, not only for seeing quickly but in taking time to see each shot in large size to appreciate all the details.

cyrus K , November 26, 2006; 10:49 A.M.

Thank you

Jorge and Mat for the comments. I sure appreciate your time and your kind inputs.

Best regards.

cyrus K , November 26, 2006; 11:02 A.M.

Oliver,

Thank you so much for the appreciation of my work. I specially appreciate the fact that you take the time to view some of them in their larger formats. Unfortunately, after I learned that not many would bother doing that, I post only in their medium form at. As you know, if a larger photo is not viewed in it's bigger size, will present itself as a lesser quality work.

I did view your work quickly and will go back for more. You do have a fine, fine portfolio which I have to view and learn from it. Best regards.

Anthony Gutowski , December 01, 2006; 11:13 P.M.

Thank you for your comments on Shadow and Curves. Your gallery is amazing in color and composition. Your work in the macro world blows my mind,but it's your use of beautiful saturated colors and fantastic quality of light that you capture in your images that really leaves me humbled. Thanks again and Best Regards Anthony

cyrus K , December 08, 2006; 04:25 P.M.

Anthony,

You have been very generous with your remarks here and I am extremely flattered.

Thank you for the kind words.

Hi Cyrus,

I left a comment on one of your macros (a positive one I think) but then I went to your portfolio and saw the others. There are a few in here that really WOWed me when I saw them posted, I didn't realize they were all yours!

You have certainly mastered the macro realm. Your photos are wonderful. I'm at a loss to explain how you get such depth of field.

Very well done my friend.

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken
