[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a view of one of the many shops (some claim there are over 4000) in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. I was attracted to the colors and lights. Sadly, I catched some people heads. I tried to crop them from the picture, but I didn´t like the end effect, so I decided to go with the original, just sharpening the image a little and including a black frame.

The Grand Bazaar, one of the many tourist attractions in Istanbul, is a covered market where you can buy mainly jewelry, rugs, spices and clothes, and some other stuff like these colorful lamps. The booth-like shops are generally grouped by type of good sold.

The labyrinthine Bazaar is a small town in itself, including several passageways, banks, cafés, a mosque, a police station and a post office.

Any suggestions to improve the picture will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Interesting Capture.......

Hello Yvonne,
beautiful and original capture. I think the image is not very clear, it hasn´t good definition.

Hello Yvonne,
This is nice photo, beautiful composition and capture. Wonderful colors...
Well done,
Ahmet

Hi Yvonne,
That's really overwhelming! Incredible mixture of lights, bright colours and brass.
Positioning of those customers could be better, but it is easy to forget such a detail in a place like this.

and I like this kind of lamp. It must be really nice to
visite this bazar! Well done

Hi Yvonne,

I know the place of course and every time I am there I take also pictures of these colorful displays. Very well done here Perhaps the picture would have been even stronger if there were no people, or even better if the people were properly places. Izzet

The composition & colours here are great, lots of detail in the image, it's a colourful & interesting scene.

It's a pity about the noise in the image - you may be able to clean it up with something like neat image, but it strikes me as being a problem with the resolution you were shooting at (I have had this kind of thing happen to me & the way around it was to change to a higher resolution mode). But I'm not familiar with the camera you use so that's just a guess on my part!
