Hi Ertugrul,

Another nice picture in this colorful market. Well composed picture placing the tomato stall in a triangle. The slight mouvement of the seller hands add a nice dynamic to the scene.

Regards,

Flavia

Domatesler o kadar canlı ve güzel duruyorlar ki, bir iki tane alıp, o kendine has kokusunu teneffüs edip, beyaz peynir ve çayla yiyesi geliyor insanın. Domateslerin bu güzel ve estetik dizilişi için satıcının da hakkını teslim etmek gerekir bence. Elinize sağlık.

Hi Ertugrul,
All the vegetables are lined up so perefctly in rows and stacks, it must take a long time to set up every morning. Great use of wide angle to get it all in and forming a triangle in the composition. Nice natural colours for this great daily life market scene.
Regards
Wanda

PaulVDV (15017) 2009-03-02 14:42

Hello Ertuğrul,
I believe two things make this picture wonderful:
First the way the market seller lines up his tomatoes in rows and levels.
Secondly the perfect angle you've chosen to present this market booth on its best.
Best regards, Paul

Hello, Ertugrul!

Interesting perspective, in spite of the little distortion it causes. The colors are great, and the tomatoes, well positioned in lines, make your picture more interesting. Good job!

Olá Ertugrul

O que me chama a atenção nesta foto é o capricho, a arrumação dos legumes que o rapaz faz com gosto e dedicação. As cores estão belas e o contraste do verde com o vermelho forte do tomate também chama a atenção.
Parabéns, belo trabalho.

Merhaba, Ertugrul.
Very creative use of the wide angle, with as a result a perfectly framed, catchy and colorful triangle of vegetables on display. A nice daily-life and a composition that perfectly renders the busy early morning market atmosphere, TFS! Have a good day, my friend. I'll see ya soon. Greetings from an extremely grey Amsterdam,

Greetings, Ertugrul -
Fine use of the wide-angle to capture the amazing color and graphic perfection of these carefully stacked tomatoes. Fine colors and sharpness, great eye to see this image.

ElAprendiz (30) 2009-03-07 12:36

Hello Ertugrul:

I like this shot. I personally, and I do not know if you did, I'd like to make a rapprochement with my lens just for tomatoes, which are arranged symmetrically in a row and I had quite a big effect resulting graph.

In addition, the composition is well balanced, light handling very appropriate and striking scene. Thanks for sharing, my friend

cfreire (11739) 2009-03-13 13:48

Hi Ertugrul,
Very, very interesting your capture! I've enjoyed a lot of your pov because it brought out the red tomatoes in excellent perspective. Creative and minimalistic. Good job! Best regards, Consuelo

stego (22556) 2009-03-15 16:23

Olá Ertuğrul,
Another good tittle would be "the tomato castle". Colour, graphics, life! A great eye catcher, masterfully composed, as usual. You exploited very cleverly the ultra wide angle, that stall looks like a powerful ship coming at us. :-) It's also very interesting to appreciate the life of that colourful market.
Um abraço, José.

JCG (35129) 2009-03-16 10:44

Hi Ertugrul,

First of all thank you for this interesting history on the tomato, a fruit that I love much... A nice shot at wide angle which gives a nice side effect of space on the market. Great enhancement of the stall seller who presents his goods. I love the colors. Thank you Ertugrul.

With all my friendships and soon

Jean-Charles

HOBO (5276) 2011-09-01 8:05

Iyi aksamlar Ertuğrul,

a very well selected pov to show this artist arranging carefully his tomatoes, a typical market scene you can find at turkish markets.

I like the way u concentrated on the red with the different greens around.

Selamlar
