Islamic Abstraction - a photo on Flickriver

            Look-up shot at MIA, Museum of Islamic Art, Doha

The ceiling and the interior design of MIA itself is an artwork. 
The light falling from the centre of the dome looks like a sun, surrounded by other stars and galaxies. The curved decoration at the bottom of the photo reminds me of the movement of the night sky.

I made light and shadow a bit clearer so that the exterior design looks more three-dimensional and deleted some noises such as the iron bars from the image with the help of Photoshop. 
When I took this picture in 2014, I preferred to post the photos as they were shot at the sites. Lately, I can't resist adding the minimum adjustment with the effective use of Photoshop.

Thank you very much for taking your precious time to view my photography!
