Sunset in Thessaloniki, a photo from Thessaloniki, Macedonia

Photographer's Note

A sunset scenery from Thessaloniki in October.
The city from where my mother and her family came from.
The city of white tower. And of course the city of Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey.

Ekim ayında Selanikden bir gün batımı.
Anacığımın ve de ailesinin geldiği şehir. Ünlü Beyaz Kule'nin şehri. Ve de ulu önder Atatürk'ümüzün şehri.

Très jolies couleurs pour ce beau coucher de soleil, bien "animé" par les silhouettes des passants.

Hello Mesut,
You captured very fine colours here and balanced the composition very well. The many silhouettes give the view a nice atmosphere and so does the sun's reflections in the wet street.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello dear Mesut,
a great scene from the lovely long quay of Thessaloniki. You've captured the magnificent colours, shadows and atmosphere very aptly. The image has superb depth and definition, the sense of brisk movement against the grey backdrop is very delightful. The warm tones break through the melancholic mood in a very heartwarming way. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
Ourania

Hello Mesut,

I like the repetition of the silhouetted people enjoying the sunset. Good silhouettes & graphism wih superb saturation & sharpness. A nice warm cold colour contrast between the warm orange & cool blue hues. Tfs!

Hi Mesut
A silhoutted shot with the waterfront and the golden glow gives the impression of fire in the sky with lighter glow at the bottom of the frame. Very well exposed and the brilliant colors compliment the silhouettes so well. This is balance of nature, on the one side it can be looked fierce and the other one of glory! Well done, Congrats
Best reagrds

Merhaba dear Mesut

Ah this is lovely, the pastels are beautifully rendered and so calming to the eye and the soul. I like the addition of the people in sillhouette, aswell as the marvellous reflections, adding even more atmosphere to an already beautiful scene.

Warm regards
Lisa

Lieber Mesut!
Dieses Foto gefällt mir "rundherum". Der Bildaufbau ist hervorragend "ausbalanciert" und die wenigen "Zutaten" sind wunderbar platziert. Eine Abendstimmung vom Allerfeinsten.
Herzliche Grüße aus dem kalt-grauen Norden. Morgen soll aber der Frühling endlich losbrechen - mit Sonne und Wärme!

Hello Mesut,

Nice details and colors, great sharpness too ; what I like the most on your picture, is the reflection of the sunset on the pavement !

Have a nice afternoon,

Sylvain
