Ciao caro Roger,
molto belli i palazzi colorati in primo piano che rendono la scena molto piacevole.
Mi piace anche il modo in cui hai composto l'immagine con i rami in FG ed il campanile sulla sinistra. Complimenti.
Un caro abbraccio.
Giorgio

Bonsoir Roger,

good play with the city layers in this photo. Placing the tower at the very left was the right decision to make the composition well balanced and the colorful houses fill nicely the right side. Superb details and sharpness management. I also find the clarity quite natural, giving me the sense of reality. Well done!
Amitiés,
Carlos

Bonsoir Roger,

L'angle de la prise de vue permet de voir les détails de ces maisons et immeubles multicolores. L,image est claire et précise. Les arbres à l'avant-plan aident au cadrage de l'image. La bonne luminosité fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne soirée.

Dear Roger

You say it's Istanbul, I just know it must be in Turkey. I have been to Sultanahmet, but that was more then 20 years ago, so things will have changed a bit I guess. At least some of the houses in your picture got new paint and that is exactly the point what makes this photograph tick, the colors, especially the blue one is outstanding. The sky is a bit heavy, not your fault, that was the weather. Color saturation and sharpness are fine as usual. Well done

Best regards and have a nice weekend
Urs

Bonsoir Roger,

Yes, the colours of the building facades are lovely, and contrast very well, against the rather drab looking grey minaret, at far left. The minaret is a great focal & reference point, & was well worth including in the shot. Good sharpness, framing & high pov. Tfs! Bon weekend!

Bonjour, cher Roger,
Il faut prendre de la hauteur pour bénéficier d'une vue privilégiée. Le minaret prend une place parfaite dans la composition. Les façades colorées agrémentent la ville.
Un cadrage très réussi.
Quel voyage !
Amitiés.

Hello Roger,
I love Turkish traditional architecture, and I like your picture because it contains many of those elements, which make Istanbul being so attractive. In particular they are multicolored walls and roofs, well-shaped minarets and a special Middle-Eastern atmosphere. Very well composed and captured!
Best regards,
Sergiy

Hello Roger,
Not the usual view of Istanbul and all the more interesting for all that. The composition is well framed with the minaret providing the ideal anchor point. Strong and effective colour contrasts with excellent sharpness. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Roger,
Les couleurs sont les bienvenues sous ce ciel gris et cette lumière atténuée. Bien que placé habilement sur le côté, le minaret se remarque. Quel dommage que le muezzin, sans doûte enroué, se fasse remplacer par des haut-parleurs, ce qui est répandu partout. Bravo.
Bonne journée
Amicalement
Joël

Bonsoir Roger,

Real een Midden-Oosten beeld, de Minarette zo groot symbool.
Schitterende details en scherpte beheer. Ik vind de duidelijkheid heel natuurlijk, geeft me het gevoel van de werkelijkheid.
Wat een mooi perspectief en diepte, echt prachtig. TFS.

Amicalement, et bon weekend,
John.

Hello Roger,

nice blend of colors and buildings in different shapes and forms. I've got to admit your treatment changes this -the sum total of which looking like a pile of stones- into a tranquil composition though. good day,
kurtul

ciao caro Roger,
le città con le case colorate sono sempre un vero piacere, specialmente per noi fotografi :-)
Hai catturato una bella e interessante immagine, nella quale ci mostri le contraddizioni architettoniche tipiche delle metropoli. Ottima composizione, completa e ben realizzata. Complimenti!
Ciao, ti auguro una bellissima settimana!
Paolo

Le panorama qui decouvre un coin d'Istambul qu'on ne voit pas habituellement. La position du mosquee, coince a gauche me semble interessante, si non la position 2+3 est ideale. Belle decouverte, Roger cher ami,

Branko

Salut Roger.
Une composition très attractive ou avec un POV tout à fait habituel de ce qui a l'habitude de se montrer d'Istambul, est un plan fermé qui montre un éventail attractif de couleurs dans ses édifices, un détail très attractif est le minaret si svelte dans un côté de la composition. Une bonne lumière et des couleurs.
Des saluts.
Luis.
