A door opens out from poverty of a shelter-house nearby Ankara castle to the opportunities offered by the big city...
just like the door in the story "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves"

On yil once ayni kapinin onunde bir avuc cocukla cekilmis bir fotografim vardir, baktikca kucuk kucuk muhasebeler yaparim hayatla ilgili...kendimce... ne ilginc ki on yıla ragmen kapının rengi, dokuk boyasi, onunden gecen camurlu yol hic degismemis hala acil susam acil da buyuk sehrin nimetlerini gecekondumuza doldur der gibi duruyor, kaledeki fakirhanenin kapisi..

renkler, tonlar ve özellikle beyazın parlamaması harika olmuş...
netlik ve kompozisyon çok başarılı... basamak bölümü ile sağ yan duvarın yaklaşık aynı orandaki kadrajı ise bence çok iyi düşünülmüş... tebrikler...
coşkun

merhaba cengiz,
there is a lot of personal engagement applied to your photography, i like it;
this simple image for instance tells us that there are the lonely places which very often are wirth visiting, they are ordinary but they have this charm which is so much tempting;
have a nice day, jerzy

Merhaba Cengiz!
herşeyıyle harıka bır fotoğraf olmuş kompozisyon ve renkler çok nefıs elıne sağlık yılmaz..

Hi Cengiz,

Beautiful picture with soft colours. Interesting note too. Well done!
Quentin.

I like the way you combined three colours:
Gray, blue and white... Beautiful in its simplicity...

The thing which influences me most about your photographs is its being natural and spontaneous. All your photos are full of feelings and this really touches my heart.
This one is not an exception.

Best wishes,
Alper

Kapı fotoğrafları, özellikle de yıkık-dökük, eski boyalı kapıların fotoğrafları hep güzeldir. Hele güzel bir kadraj ve güzel bir ışıkla olursa...Tıpkı bu fotoğraf gibi!

hi my friend, the idea is very good, but I feel that something is missing... maybe a human presence... and a little more saturation for my taste!

Merhaba Cengiz,
çok güzel bir kapı çalışması. kapının yarım açık olması arka planda asılan çamaşır resme ayrı bir güzellik vermiş . soğuk havada çok net hissediliyor. ellerine sağlık.

Merhaba my friend,

Very nice photo with a lot of meaning and a great note! And it is a shame that this has become part of the "usual landscape" of lots of big cities around the world.

I like very much the composition and the door as a second frame in the image.

It seems that at the moment when you took the photo the light was a little dull, but even so the colors and contrast came out very well.

Best regards, saludos,
Carlos

Hi Cengiz, beautiful, often used old door. Imagine all those people that got through that door and walked to the house. I once posted a photo of an old door in Lisbon, that was blue too, but were not really Portuguese colors. I loved that door.

hi cenzig just a great capture here, really like the colors and composition, one of your best, no the best shot in your gallery for me

My friend, wonderful textures on that old door and wall, the composition is great with this local frame, the cold colours are suitable for such a subject, not to mention your sociological study that is very good... A veru good picture!
Only "sesame" opens not to incredible riches, but to striking poverty... well, I've seen plenty of that here!
:(
Thank you also for all your critique,
BB

İşin aslı beni de eskilere götürdü bu fotoğraf.
Çocukluğumuz bu tür evlerde geçti. Ama şimdiki çocuklardan daha mutluyduk.
Teşekkürler. Uğur

Hi Cengiz!
Well-seen and captured scene!
I really like the colors here and the composition.

Hello Cengiz

Nice to see your pictures in TE. Take this old door for instance,who knows how many stories she could have written if she coudl talk. Very impressing one. Many thanks - Izzet

Hi Cengiz,
Nice composition, I like this charming door battered by the tooth of time, half open, just enough to make one curious to peek inside and to see some garments hanging. Well done!

Hello Cengiz, I'm not sure how I missed this picture before as it is one of your best. I like the colour and the detail of this old door. It is inviting us to enter, but what will we find inside?

Beautiful composition my dear friend!
I like soft colour. Intresting note.

This is great picture Cengiz! The composition is simple but great. It looks like a picture from an other era (you are right about "Ali Baba". Great colours and texture on the door, the walls and the window. Extra detail, the snow. Excellent!

Bonjour mon ami Cengiz,
Il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser beaucoup de mots pour apprécier cette photographie. La prise de vue parle d'elle-même !
Elle nous touche et l'émotion passe parfaitement.

Cher Cengiz,
Je ne puis m'empêcher de revenir sur cette superbe photo, je ne sais pas, mais elle m'attire chaque fois que je vais dans votre galerie.
Il y a une sorte de beauté, d'émotion qui passe à travers cette image.
Si je pouvais, j'aurais mis 4 smileys !
Amitiés sincères

Hi Cengiz,
Excellent POV. Thanks for the reminding me the story of Ali Baba, a childhood favourite. The composition is so simple yet it tells so many stories.

Beatiful, very evocative shot of this simple door with its crumbling paint, a door with a soul, however denoting poverty, still beautiful and full of memories.

Hi Cengiz,
I like this open door that shows the poverty and the abandonment.A great composition with vivid coliurs and soft lighting.It's a natural and spontaneous capture with excellent contrast and sharpness.Intresting note.
Regards,Danos

Hello Cengiz
Beauty within the rudimentary thing.
The composition allows to appreciate with clearness, until but the small detail. The tones faded by the time, give to an air of poverty and desolation

Great picture. A place full of character. I think the blue shirt really makes this shot - it would be too empty without it and the colour of the shirt works well with the blue of the sign and the doors. Thanks.
