Merhaba Figen
Nice to have you back, missing your talent all this time !
Nicely composed with the main characters off centered, and all the attendants with different attitudes
Superb black and gray hues
Best regards

Hello Figen,
An interesting photo of a medieval ritual. Except for the clothes of the nearest persons it still looks like something from the Middle ages. There are lots of interesting details to watch, especially all those expressive faces. The sharpness is brilliant and so is the light management.
Kind regards,
Gert

good to see you Figen, Sultan has been doing some projects and has been active lately, remember you used to shoot together in the alleys of tarlabasi, Marmara etc..

it is again, just a matter of taste, human nature has not been designed that way..there is no centralized rule of opinion and acceptance, we are discrete entities and bound to a discrete set of opinions, but i would love to see the blends of colours here...

there is only one spiritual person in there, the rest are just religious, can you see him, with his head down, that is decisive

sayeed

merhaba,

Bizim zaten bildiğimiz, bazı yabancıların işine gelmediği, Ermeni vatandaşların, Türkiyedeki özgürlüklerinden bir kesitini net biçimde anlatan harika çalışma.
Tebrikler

Reşat.

The scene makes me think of Byzantine frescos. I'd like to see it in heavy gold tones with some addition of fresh, deep colours. Still it's really fine composition with some rhythm and accents. And some feelings are present too.
Greetings T.
