"I planned to take this photo about a month ago. The writing on the scan page and her hand are in Farsi (Persian) and it's a poem of Khayam, who has many books and poems about love and died hundred years ago. This photo was taken using bokeh panorama method [Brenizer], and I used 27 images creating it with a Canon 50mm 1.4 so I could get a wide angle of view with amount of blur which I love using in my works. I used levels and Nik software to get the colours and light and also used OnOne plugin to give abit more blur on the edges! "- Saman Shadkamali
