In a Child's Room Photo

Photographer’s Note

It is an unexpected shot, I was talking to my new boss when I looked through the window and saw this. There are two layers of glass between my cam and the mosque. I made several shots with and without flash. This one without flash I believe is the best: the mushroom is black, so that the attention is drawn to the mosque.
Why "decisive moment"? Cuz I had to use the opportunity, to get the best out of the moment...
I have never seen that window again so far though I am still working there.

I like the graphic nature of this - the stark black window frame and the design (mushroom?) visible in front of the mosque and the city. It seem that some of the details are smoothed out, but the lighting is great. Well done!

Merhaba Ilgiz Bey,
İlhamın ne zaman nerde geleceği belli olmuyor. Patronunuzla konuşurken geldiğine göre muhtemelen yeni zammınızı açıklıyordu...
Doğal çerçeve ve ters ışıkla yaratıcı bir fotoğraf yakalamışsınız. İlham tam gelmiş yani. Grenleri temizlemek için bir WS yaptım. Umarım beğenirsiniz.
Selamlar,
Deniz

Creative work Ilgiz and a fun effect and use of the window and decoration there. The shape goes well with the church in the back. Good idea.

Hi Ilgiz. I love the way you used the window frame here. Nice contrast between the mosque and the house. The shot might be a bit oversaturated, but still and interesting graphic result. Thanks for your critique on my shot. Regards, Yvonne

Hi Ilgiz, I must congratulate you on recognizing the photographic possibilities of this scene. You've captured it very well - an interesting and refreshing view of a Turkish mosque!
Regards,
Ryno

Very nice subject

Beautiful composition Ilgiz, the window works as frame too, the mosque and the colors of this little mushroom, mix witht the roof and contrating with the mosque colors.
Very nice composition, congratulations.

Hi Ilgiz,
excellent idea to associate this window and the mosque...
May be the noise isn't nice but it's not important.
I try a BW version (see the WS).
Regards
Philippe

Hello Ilgiz! I like your style very much and you seem to have great enthusiasm for photography. This composition is very strong and the more I look at it the more things I see. I particularly like the details of city in the distance that seem to emerge from the haze as I study the image.

Well done!
Doug

Hi Ilgiz,

Jolie réalisation, cette vue depuis une fene^tre fermée. Belle idée.

Hi Ilgiz
This photo reminds me of a children's program I used to watch when I was little. At one point, someone has to choose which window to go though to discover something new. Each window had a different shape. I like how you captured the interior and exterior plus the typical hazy Turkish light. Well seen.
Regards
Nikki

although not that sharp and some over saturation are seen, the composition is great. the window frame leads all viewers into the far view of the mosque, the minaret in particular. such a wonderful decisive moment capture, indeed!
cheers,
benedict

Well the framing is pretty clever Ilgiz, I would never have thought that a decent shot like this would come out of it.
It is a little noisy though.

I like this one, Ilgiz, definitely good use of the window frame for the compo, that mosque on the side looks really good, and the blurry background gives a lot of depth, cheers :) Daniel

Ilgiz privet!
I check out your gallery and I think this one is the best. Genius composition, very graphical, taken in "the best out of the moment" really. The veiw through the window is so beautiful and romantic!
Regards, S.
P.S Why so much noise? Hight ISO?
I don't write in russian, because my russian is very bad. But I saw that you are english teacher, so excuse my errors in english too :)
