Cok guzel, cok kiskandim. Bende bu kadar iyisi cikmayacak galiba. Daha yeni bakiyorum cektiklerime. Ne guzel renkleri var o diyarlarin di mi? Cocuklar ne kadar guzel dikkat ettin mi? Yakalayip yakalayip fotograf cekesin geliyor hep. Senin fotografin da tam kartpostal, cok begendim. Sana msj attim, belki bir umut oralardasindir, bulusuruz diye ama cvp gelmedi. Zaten o manastir senin, bu kilise benim kostura kostura gezerken helak oldum. Sirf fotograf cekmek icin gitmek lazim oraya. Boyle gezerken olmuyor. Yanlis saatlerde yanlis yerde oluyorsun hep.

Renklerdeki uyum ancak bukadar olur,taşların ve hanımların elbiseleri aynı ton bej,,suyun gökyüzünün ve öndeki hanımın iç elbise ve eşarbının maviside benzer tonlarda olunca müthiş görsellik oluşmuş.Ağız tadıyla seyredilen nefis bir kare.Kutlarım,eline sağlık .Haleplerini merakla bekliyeceğim bende gitmek istiyorum çünkü.Selamlar

Selam sevgili Deniz,
Susup susup böyle arkadan vurmak var mı?
Biz Safranbolu, Bartın, Devrek arasında sürterken sen nerelere gitmişin de bize nal toplatıyorsun !
Şaka bir yana bu kare tek kelimeyle muhteşem. Teyzeler, kompozisyonun parçası olduklarından kesin bihaberler.
Sımsıcak renkler ve mükemmel notlarla harika bir katkı.
Ben de dahil çok kişiyi hasetinden çatlatacak türden. Klima mı sattın Urfalılara ?
Tebrikler, selam sevgiler

Merhaba Deniz,
Ah nice compo here, I like your mm framing to fit everything in and it looks really like a nice place, being a fan of 1001 nightts minarets of course I like your subject a lot and having the two women look at you is definitely a bonus there. It seems to me you could push up the highlights some more, no ?
Have a nice day JY

Superb composition with an excellent inclusion of these two "locals" in the frame. I'm not sure your tower is vertical. Overall is a good and original picture.

Senden böyle bir kare çok ilginç geldi, (sıradışı karelerine alışmışız) bir daha baktım ismi yanlış mı gördüm acaba diye :))
Önde yerel kıyafetlerle yerel halk ve arkada balıklı göl, çok başarılı bir belgesel karesi olmuş, tebrikler..

Vaaayyyy!! Hic senden beklemeyecegim bir fotograf bu! Demek ki Avrupa'ya ters yonde hareket edince bakis acin da hareketlenmis, degismis, yenilenmis ve en onemlisi renklenmis. Bu tip birseyi Istanbul'da cekiyor olsaydin, sag taraftaki sutunlardan gelecek isigi kullanip degisik golgeli siluetli bol karanlik birsey cekermissin gibi bir izlenim var bende. Diyecegim o ki...Baya yaramis bu seyahat sana :)
Canli canli capcanli renklerine, objektifin tam icine dik dik bakiyormus gibi gordugum yerli mankenine, gokyuzunun berrakligina ve son olarak yerel giysilerin mimariyle olan renk uyumuna bayildim.
Opuyorum cok

Son ekleme. Ondeki kadinin bas ortusu ve icindeki elbisesinin deseninin birbirine cok yakin oldugunu fark etmis miydin? Gerci senden kacmaz ama :)

Hi Deno!

This is a diferent "face" of Turkey, far from Istanbul but equally beautiful and maybe even more interesting. Your photo is an excellent example of travel photography, the style that I really like, here you have mixed a beautiful daily life scene and a fantastic architecture photo! Perfect composition, perfect framing, great depth of field, and beautiful light, the warm colours are very pleasant! Congratulations!

Deniz,
this isn't necessarily your rigoletto style - dark and light - and yet it works perfectly well. the ladies makeing eye contact with the sacred lake and the minarette at the left side makes a nice composition. have you thought about correcting the lens distortion?

Exceptional depiction of architectural details through a colorful photo.
The two ladies, perfect choice to include them in to your frame, gives the necessary touch of life to the composition.

Hi Deniz,

This is absolutely gorgeous, for the saturated warm colours, the beautiful light, the low-angle view and the brilliant composition.

Because of the wall behind the women, your photo is visually divided, one third being a double portrait and the second 2/3 emphasizes on the architectural aspect of the location. One of your best shots in recent months. Like it a lot!!!

Cheers!

Merhaba Deniz
Thanks to you we can see unique places that personally have never heard about. Such a long standing culture and history and such a beautiful composition. Stylistically impeccable, it renders a majestic view of the sacred lake and the two ladies give a contemporary yet traditional touch to the composition
Well done, my friend

Hello Deniz,
good use of the 18mm here to give us full details about the 2 ladies and their very nice clothing and at the same time having this panorame over the courtyard and pool.
The light was very beautiful at the time you took the photo and created a nice mood on the photo.
A mood of mild temperatures mixed with pure air, this is what this photo makes me feel, am I correct?
Cheers.

So, you visited Edessa! Did you pray to the holy carp there?
Is it possible to eat them too? I’m sure that they would be miraculous healthy.

Excellent postcard shot btw.

Hi Deniz,
It's hard to choose a post to critique from this series of yours from this place that looks so interesting.
The POV, the light, clarity and sharpness are great, very attractive and effective in showing the place. Then there is the bonus of the two ladies dressed in traditional clothes looking at us. In other circumstances maybe I would complain about the excessive darkness under the arch on the right, but I won't because not only there isn't any relevant thing there, but also because if those persons were more clearly visible, they would disturb the rest of the image.
Regards, José.

Hi Deniz,
Unfortunately I was away for such a long time and I missed several great photosm of yours.
...Like this one! I always love the precence of the human element among historical sights. And you managed it very well here! I really like the composition: the disposal of the bg and fg. Both the women and the archway and lake leading into the distance catch the eye. The light adjustment and the natural colours look also perfect!
TFS!
Cheers,
Marci
