Is there a light in your window?
The sky is turning gray.
The sunlight paints the clouds and fades away.

I guess I'll take the walk back home.

Some days I am such a fool.
I run, oh, how I run.
I run this longing out until it's done.

Until I find myself on the walk back home.

Will I see you standing by the window?
Will I see you opening the door?
Have you finally had enough,
or is this what love is for?

The walk back home,
I never thought I could walk this far.
The light is on,
The light is on and there you are.

(the walk back home by paulhenrys)

The trees are very strange and I like the black silhouettes!And the man with the bags seems so tired walking there ...maybe the end of a hectic day :)
Hugs

Selam sevgili Korkut ,
Bu kare kurtulanlardan mı ?
Keyifli bir siyah beyaz çalışma olmuş. Öok güzel grafik etki. Bu tür ağaç budaması bir tek oralarda ve Güney İtalyada var. Ağaçları azdırmadan, sınırlı boyutlarda tutabiliyorlar.
Gözüne gönlüne sağlık
Selam ve sevgilerle
MESUT ILGIM

Ben de merakla bir kontrbasçı bekliyodum.
Macbeth'in yürüyen ormanının cinayeti haber veren gizemli hissiyatı var sanki. Ama arkadaki manzaranın romantikliği bunu biraz dağıtıyor. Adamın yansımaya denk gelmesi çok şık bir detay. Sisli Como'dan bakalım ne harikalar çıkacak...

Selamlar, adama "kımıldama" diye bağırdınız mı ? :)
Ağaçlar, demirlerin şekli, suya vuran ışıkla şık kompozisyon, tebrikler.
Hülya

Hello Korkut,

The trees have a very special form. Very fine exposition with the black shades of the trees and the palette of different greys.

Kind regards - Franco

enterasan bir havası var.

Merhaba,
Harika bir siyah beyaz kare olmuş. Bulutların arasından sızan güneş huzmesinin sudaki ışıltısı ve evine dönen(?) adamın onunla simetik duruşu hoş bir etki yaratmış. Elinize sağlık.

Hi Korkut,
Interesting, very interesting. It's not only the composition but also the toning in the b&w. The grey tones in the water are wonderful, you really master this technique, exceptional work.
Regards, Henk

Hi Korkut,
Great impression with dramatic atmosphere, the composition is fantastic. I like the impressive silhouettes and lights, excellent choice the B&W. Splendid work, Congratulations. Have a nice weekend

Korkut Bey merhaba,
Muhtesem bir atmosfer, agaclar, demir korkuluklar, adamin yeri, uzerine dusen isik...hepsi harika,
Elinize saglik,

Merhaba Korkut,
İşe gitmeden,az önce Eskihisar manzarama yazdığın yorumu okuduğumda,-Lugano çok güzeldi- ifadene ((güzelde, paylaşmadıktan sonra nerden haberimiz olsun,sahildeki budanmış ağaçlar şimdi kimbilir nasıldır hiç değilse onları göstersen)) diye sana söylendim,laptopu kapatırken birden, Lugano sözünü mesaj gibi algılayıp galerine bakayım dedim veeee müthiş güzel bir sürprizle karşılaştım,notun da ancak bu kadar yakışır

Bu güzelliğin büyüsünü lafla bozmak istemiyorum.

Daha nice yaşanası güzellikler diliyorum.
setenay

that grey is not that much on my taste but I
like the mood and the quality a lot.Very impressive work here.

Hi Korkut
Very very good idea and realisation
I like this scene match

Cheers,Braca

Really well spotted with this special light, Korkut, every element in the picture is so graphical! Lugano is really a great place, lucky you!

Cheers

Hi Korkut, beautiful one, with a well managed light in the camera, excellent contrast and a typical view of the district lakes north of Milan.
thanks, ciao

As black and white picture is this very well, certainly the fantastic contrast with the trees as great subject.
Also the man with bag is a real eye catcher on this image.

Hello Korkut,
What a great picture !
The lining up of the hard silhouettes of these freaky trees contrasts so well we the softness of the rest of the image. This person walking by is idealy placed and the foreground with the sun reflection is superb and shows a delicate light.
The b&w conversion with a touch of sepia is great and adds a lot for creating this very special and interesting mood.
Have a nice weekend.
Best regards, Christian

Hi Korkut
Amazing black and white composition with wonderful silhouettes.
Great POV and very well framed
Have a nice weekend

Merhaba Korkut,
Lugano fotoğraflarının en güzeli :) Mükemmel bir siyah beyaz kare. Sis, güneşin sudaki ışıltısı ve yürüyen adamla ağaçların simetik duruşu çok hoş.
Monte San Salvatore ya da Monte Brè'den panaromik bir görüntü var mı ?
İyi haftasonları,

what a moment ...great note.perfect b&w ,love the contrast and the way you frame it
thanks sharing

Merhaba Korkut, fascinating B&W composition with wonderful silhouettes of trees and lonely man, splendid light, very well done, Happy Easter, ciao Silvio

Hi Korkut,
This shot has a nice feeling to it with the dark silhouettes, and I like the halo effect on the man from the light reflected off the water. Nice details such as the benches and the patterned fence.
Regards
Wanda

Amazing result with those trees; they look as if you drew them in. I can imagine some kind of abstract just with the trees. The scene itself is well composed with excellent timing to place the man over the bright reflected sunlight on the water. Good work

I see you have used your trip to explore a bit on the sides, smart guy, the tree silhouettes are a bit special here, somehow menacing and you did not miss them threatening the guy
Have a nice day JY

Hello Korkut,
nice the scene with the leafless trees and the walking man between them.I like the composition and the light that reflected on the water and is the same line with the man.The B/W format bring out the details of the capture.Interesting the poem.

Korkut bey merhaba,
ters ışık ve kadraj çok etkileyici.ağaçlar harika bir efekt yaratmış.adamın kadrajdaki yeri ve S/B çok iyi seçim.oldukça başarılı bir çalışma.emeğinize sağlık.selamlar.

Meraba Korkut,
Merak ediyorum kendi işini yaparken nasıl bu kadar seyahat imkanını nasıl bulabiliyorsun -biraz da kıskançlık var tabii bu sonun içinde :)- Siyah beyazın çok yakıştırğı bir kare, yürüyen adam sanki durup özellikle yansıma önünde poz vermiş, çok düzenli, çok estetik bir komposizyon, gerçekten çok beğendim, muhteşem bir kare, gözüne sağlık..

Selnur

Anaaa sen isvicreye ne zaman gittin yav? Lugano'ya gectigini bilmiyordum, halbuki como momo diyordun di mi? Bunuyorum ben kesin! Bu agaclara zaten mest olmustum, demek guneyde de varmis. Modelin ugursuz birseyler olmasini bekler gibi. Oyle durup beklerse de basina elbet birsey gelir. Soyleseydin de bi ziplasaydi ya. )))) Gokyuzunu sevmedim ama yapacak bisey yok, o tarihlerde her yerde gokyuzu oyle manasizdi. Bu arada, it was so nice meeting you.

I missed this one,
I don't know where do you get those scenes. Trees, stairs, subways, advertising boards,
well the answer is, outside but inside the city.

You are one of the best street photographers here. I find myself very shy to deal with street photography and most of my scenes contain touristic places and destinations. And different versions of it. (Post processing).
Indeed I admire this kind of photography, but I also know I'll be shy enough to do it.
any advices welcomed :)

Many Regards
Stelios

P.S. I forgot to write a critique about this photo. haha..
Those trees feel unreal and give some mystery in the scene. Ideal placement of the man at right. Another clever street photography composition which I admire, for the reasons I wrote above.

nasıl ağaçlar onlar ölee? sanki bir makette kullanılmış ve sonra üzerinde yeşil renk veren süngerleri çıkartılmış gibi.
Sisli ibr günde güzzel bir manzara yakalamışsın ve B&W yapark sıradan olabilecek bir görüntüyü farklı aktarmayı başarmışsın.

Your POV is excellent and the light very well placed.I like the few grey tones and the black tree and man figures.
I congratulate you

Hi Korkut,
this is lovely, very moody in B&W and I love the decorative railings and of course the stunted trees but it wouldn't be as good if the old man wasn't passing by. A really fine capture and well seen.

Wooooh and again wooooh,
for this stunning composition.
All the elements, all the part here work fantastic together.
The opposite light creates a very nice atmosphere, the light reflections on the water adds a nice effect, the rails along the water with the trees and the benches are a superb entourage to the man. The water between the land and trees and the shadowy effect of the mountains a also a strong plus here.
Congratulations file mou.

Merhaba korkut.

Excellent B&W picture! The contrasts are amazing.

The light was awesome!

Nice photo sensitive enough with a perfume
of mystery in black and white..
Bravo my friend,very attractive picture..
Tanti cari saluti amico mio,

Hi Korkut,

Very nice. Love the very dark silouettes. Very strong graphical appearance. Nice division of the trees, maybe a bit heavy to the right, but I can handle that. Nice.

Merhaba Korkut,
Wonderful image, very moody. You did a very wise use of that light with which it would be very difficult getting good 'more realistic' photos. Despite that the compo doesn't really need that, the exposure adjustment is remarkable, having some details in the darkest parts and a wealth of greys. The human silhouette couldn't better placed, at one third, in the middle of an arch made by the trees and in front of the brightest area of water.
Selamlar, José.

Hi Korkut, you are so good at finding framing and compositions i would for sure wouldn't see, this one which is yet so simple has been turned into a terrific one with you turned into BW, the inclusion of the soul but more than that i do love the shape of those trees.
I think there was 3 possibilities of placement of this man, but this one just on the sun reflection is great.
Excellent

These trees are so much Ticino and there is obviously no sign of spring in these trees yet, empty and sad but soon enough there will be life back. I mean I have been in this area many times and I have seen many pictures but this is truly different and it needs a second look to find out where it might be, but I guess it is the trees that is the sign. I always find it interesting what people "do" with places I know ... I am on my home now and I hope I look a little more dynamic :) Excellent ... wonderful ... not much to add. Barbara.

Hi Korkut,
very good play with silhouettes.
These trees without leaves are nice.
Lugano is a nice small city but I haven't been there for a while... Maybe I have to go.

j'aurais aimé voir l'homme a gauche. very nice picture
ciao salut

What a wonderful mood...intemporality comes out of this for me. The light is sumptuous, the trees stand out beautifully with their strange shapes, just prepared for the spring to come, the man...he is in this everyday moment, going somewhere, pausing a few seconds on his way, remaining a mystery to us. Nature, human element, town. Great shades of grey, silvery... To me all your stampmarks are here and I relish in them. Just beautiful.
