[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This scene somehow reminds me of Camus's existentialist novel, "The Outsider".

The original colour version of a b & w photo I posted a year ago. Inciralti harbour, near Izmir.

A powerful picture. I definitely prefer this to your earlier grayscale post. The bold, hard-edged colors seem to tell you that momentous events are afoot under that big sky. Is the tank-top guy going to commit a senseless camusian crime, apparently presaged by the simit-seller's blood-red t-shirt or is he just feeling peckish after a morning's hard work? High drama, great photo.

Hello Ryno,
You have a tendency of stirring up tensions among the TE viewers with your threatening pictures, but since this is Izmir and not Algiers I feel a bit more relaxed. Anyway, the POV is superb, so are the colours and contrasts. And the weather gods certainly were on your side that day.
Great picture,
Gert

Good perspective and strong composition. The red of the sweat contrast very well with the blue.
