Beautiful shot. Contrast between white mountains and blue sky is always very fascinating to me.
Good colour saturation too.
Well done.
To tell the truth, I did nor know that Turkey had so high mountains!!

Hi Mahmut
I love such perspective, remote mountains... Amazing place and capture. Only there is a little to much sky for me ;).
Greetings

Hi Mahmut,
Thank you for sharing this photo. Ararat is an important piece of our biblical tradition, but I've never seen it and did not know there are actualy two Ararats. Verz interesting picture and note.

Thanks,
Marek

Ellerinize saglik cok guzel bir kompozisyon. Dagin kontrastini biraz daha arttirirsaniz gokyuzunden daha net bir sekilde ayrilir saniyorum. (Ben yapacaktim fakat buraya gonderdiginiz resmin boyutu cok kucuk bu yuzden duzeltmek pek mumkun olmadi)

I presume your screen name reflects Noah's Ark coming to rest on one of these mountains?

Merhaba Mahmut,
even from a distance, this awesome mountain is still very much in command. There is a bit more of the sky, but in my opinion it only adds to the greatness of the mountain.
Thanks for sharing!

Merhaba Mahmut,
In Western Europe, Turkey is linked to holiday on the beach, so it's not easy to imagine in the interior winter can be very cold and provide vistas similar to those in the Alps, I welcome you showing us that with this nice view of Mount Ararat. The sky blue deepening above it is very nice too, and you could give it more importance by cropping some of the slightly overexposed snow foregroung to have 1/3 snow, 2/3 sky.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves
