Hello George. Believer before a mosque. This picture is really interesting. The clothes are not Turkish. The content faces show that these people arranged their life. A good picture for Trekearth. Very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Yasu George,
Probably Uzbek. The composition and the capture is superb. The colors, the contrast is very nice, and so are the details.

Γεια σου Γιώργο!

Very interesting groupd portrait, very well balanced, great lighting and contrast (despite the obvious bright light). Every face has a completely different quality.

Πολύ ενδιαφέρον ομαδικό πορτραίτο, πολύ καλά ισορροπημένο, με ωραίο φωτισμό και κοντράστ (παρά το προφανές έντονο φως). Κάθε πρόσωπο έχει μία εντελώς διαφορετική ποιότητα.

Hello George,
An excellent group portrait of these interesting looking Kyrgyz Turks. I had no idea that you had this minority group is living in Turkey. I thought that they were exclusive only to western Asia but not to Asia Minor. You have given me an excellent history and geography lesson with this fine image.
Regards,
Stan

Your composition is great with so many different smiling experessions in the same shot. Full of lively people. Technically, usage og light, brightness of the photo is completing the atmophere. Very good analysis in your note as well. Canguratulations. TFS. Behice.

Hello, George,
This is wonderful. I am in awe of the way you handled that overhead light. This is perfectly exposed, the colors are excellent. And those faces just make it perfect. I smile when I look at them. It reminded me of family reunions back home. Beautiful shot!! Thank you so much. Kindest regards,

Very interesting shot, with some fascinating faces- each with its own story to tell. I have recently been working with many people from this part of the world, and have enjoyed it a lot. Lovely work.

Γιώργο, οφείλω να σε συγχαρώ για αυτό το πολύ ωραίο πορτραίτο. Φαίνονται να αισθάνονται άνετα μπροστά στο φακό σου, λες και είσαι συγγενής τους ή κάποιος φωτογράφος που παράγγειλαν φωτογράφηση. Η χαρακτηριστική τους ενδυμασία δίνει ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στην παράδοση του τόπου καταγωγής τους. Η απόδοση της φωτογραφίας είναι πολύ καλή. Μπράβο!
Καλές διακοπές,
Αθανάσιος.

Συγχαριτηρια για τη φωτογραφία είναι η καλύτερη που έχεις βγάλει.Στη αρχη νόμισα ότι ήταν από περιοδικο αλλά τελικά πίστηκα ότι είναι δική σου.
Πολύ έξυπνο να τους ζητήσεις να ποζάρουν όλοι για μια φώτο!!!!!!!

technically it's very good, your note is interesting as well; what I do not like here is that these people are standing looking straight to your lens and waiting for the shot.. it's a bit artificial - nonetheless overall impression is very good - tfs - Tom

Hi George,
A beautiful capture of picture of people's group. The individual expressions were well portrayed with great clearness. The contrasts are beautiful. The important is object in prominence on this picture independent of the nationality of the group. This a wonderful work is shown here. Best regards, Consuelo

Γιώργο γειά σου,
πολύ ωραία η παρουσίαση από αυτούς τους Κυργύσιους με τις παραδοσιακές τους φορεσιές να φωτογραφίζονται μπροστά από το Top-Kapi. Απ΄ ότι βλέπω ο παππούς περιτριγυρίζεται από έξι γυναίκες,δεν πίστεύω να είναι όλες δικές του.Το σημείωμά σου εξαιρετικό.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος
