Hi Hunkar,

marvelous capture. A beautiful portrait of quiet observer illuminated with warm light, a silent silhuette of most elegant being, observing the world and its habitants. Simply marvelous!

Kind regards,
Jeri

Merhaba Hünkar,
Mükemmel bir ışık. Kedi de sanki spot altında olduğunun bilincinde, tam olması gereken yerde durmuş. Kompozisyon ve sunuş çok şık. Tebrik ederim.

Hi, komshi, Hunkar,
A wonderfully composed shot and good depth.
Bravo!

Hello Hunkar. A photo worth seeing. Motive, composition and light are in the best way. First class. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Hunkar!
Original shot and original pov!!!
A good use of light and shadows... nice composition!!! The cat seems so curious about the couple!!!!
I like it very much!
Chiaretta

Hello, I like very much the framing you used. Maybe I would remove the people in the back. But however, it is a beautiful artistic shot. Geraldine

Böyle bir fotoğrafı çekmek hem şans hem de ustalık gerektirir. Şans, çünkü o kediyi her zaman o ışık koşullarında orada, o pozda bulamazsınız. Ustalık, çünkü hem fotoğraf iyi bir görme yetisinin ürünü, hem de kompozisyonu ve tekniği gayet iyi. Tebrikler.

The cat silohette is in the perfect place. It is under the light, and it looks like a sphynx making the guard to the temple.
You might even consider to make an alternative version of this picture, by cropping it and removing the door, and leave the square on the right with the cat and nothing else.
Regards Stefano

Hello Hunkar,
compliments. I am a great cat lover but that does not influence my appreciation of this picture.:-) The positioning of the meditative cat, the strong light and shadows, the tilt, the opening to the outside with the people...a very spontaneous image, full of atmosphere and life.

TFS, Best regards
Michèle

Hi Hunkar, nice shot! Of course I like the silhouette of the still cat just at the edge of the light cone, but I also like a lot the contrast between the quite dark place and the busy and colorfull street across the door. Nice games of light and shadow.
Well done!

Ciao
Jeffao

Hello Hunkar
Perfect atmosphere, wonderful lighting, amazing cat.
Greetings from Thessaloniki (where we also have cats)

Muthis! Son zamanlarda kacirdigim fotograflara bakiyordum, bu en begendiklerimden biri. Biri sicak digeri soguk isikli iki ayri isik havuzu, kedinin konumu, zeminin dokusu ve cerceveyi kalabaliklastiran fazla insan olmamasi cok guzel. Tebrikler.

Bonjour Hunkar,
It is a very beautiful photo where 2 worlds are in confrontation: the world of the silhouette and the world of the light.
Silhouettes are just before enlightened zones. If they move just a little, the magic will be finished, they will not be any more in the world of silhouettes but they will enter the world of the realityl!
I put your photo in my preferred because I think that it is very important for me, it makes me many things understand but I do not know how to explain them in english or in turkish!!!
Never mind... I tell you:
"Bravo, it' a real great shot!"
Teşekkürler
Diane

The light, the silouhette of the cat and people - they all play their roles in this picteresque scene. Fantastic!

Merhaba Hunkar Bey,
İşte bu harika, ışık böyle kullanılır, pozlama böyle yapılır dedirten enfes bir kompozisyon. Ellerinize sağlık...
Selamlar...

Hello Hunkar, excellent shot, the shadow and light play is amazing and the cat as it stands on the edge of the light spot superb. The line of light as it enters from the door in the back leads the eye. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Kostas.

bonsoir,

Topkapinin cikis kapinin bekcisi cok hos bir kare olusturmus.

Great contrast in the composition here, the glimpse of real-life on the left complements nicely with the timelessness of the "Temple" atmosphere.

Super, this i wreally like

Cute shot, interesting angle and lovely cat.

Beautiful, artistic shot. Great light and composition.

Hunkar,
two weeks prior of you shooting this shot I passed this door and I'm pretty sure that I saw this cat at the exact same spot! Can you believe it? The difference is that you saw the potential of this composition and light feast and I didn't. Wonderful image!

Very well composed shot, Hunkar. I also like very much the POV and the solitary cat looking out towards the people and the world...the globe of overhead light makes for a wonderful contrast to the dark cat.

Wow! Marvelous play of light and shadows. Very well done.

hello Hunkar,
this is good. A picture of light and shadows. But best of all you have captured a cat in a pool of light. A decisive moment if ever there was one. And a black cat for good luck too!

Bonjour Hunkar,
des lumières très interessantes, la chat, vedette de la compostion, est plongé dans cette lumière à la fois forte et douce.
C'est une photo qui ne manque pas de touche personnelle dans le cadrage.

Hi Hunkar!
This is surely a different composition. I like the cat on the corner, shown by that reflected light.Seems he's waiting for the people.

Ciao Hunkar,
very good capture of the cat and the silhouettes. Excellent light and colors. Very mysterious atmosphere. Great one!

Hi Hunkar, nice composed photo!

Hello HUNKAR,
an inventive picture that works well accents of light...Dark follows the two silhuettes
but the small cat remains under warm light..
Beautiful shot with excellent light management..
