Desolated Church Photo

Photographer’s Note

An old Greek Orthodox church at Osmaneli, Bilecik. I am told that, after the older church burned down, a Hungarian architect built this one in the 19th century. After the population exchange of 1923 between Greece and Turkey, the use of the building ended. But recently the municipality of Osmaneli is developing a restoration project to repair the building and use it for cultural purposes. I had taken this photo before the restoration work has started....

Hi Tolga,
Your shot reminds me of the ruins of an old church situated in the centre of Lisbon, Portugal, damaged by the earthquake of 1755. I like how you have captured the light coming from the sky and the shadows of the building on the ground. They really fit with the composition. Well done.
Regards.

Tolga, you have an interesting play of light, shadow and structure. The framing is good and you didn't overwhelme the image with big typography. Well done.

Beautiful!!!
I think what makes this photo so beautiful is the P.O.V you have chosen. We can see the sky above from an impressive angle. I especially adored the play of lights and shadows on the ground. Great photography...
Thanks for sharing,
Regards, Alper

Excellent image Tolga. The 3 strong colours(green, white, blue) are distributed evenly across the frame adding to the geomatric nature of the subject. Well done.
