Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold

Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own...


(...from "blue moon" by ella fitzgerald, frank sinatra, elvis presley, bob dylan and many more...)

Bu fotografi makinanda da cok begenmistim. "Yine mi high pov", "yine mi Mykonos", "yine mi bakirimsi S&B" diyen hepimize, "Korkut olsa ne cekerdi" diye surekli yerlerdeki suslemelere bakan bizlere kapak oldu :)
Dunya alt ust olmus, bulutlar alt katta, eleman yukari cikiyor... Bu haftasonu senin icin cok farkli, sinirlarinin cok disinda gecti. Meyvelerini goruyoruz. Eeee Balat fotograflari ne zaman? :))) Bir de hafiften egik olmus desem? ;)

Geia sou bostani mou!

At first, when I saw the thumnail I said "My God, what is it"? Now I see what this is, once again a great example of your unique way to perceive the world around you, to see things that noone else sees. I just wish that the upper half was a little bit brighter but still this photo is excellent! Congratulations!

The Giritli

Şöyle değişik güzel birşeyler gelse Korkut'dan diyordum, konuşturmuşsun. 2 ayrı mükemmel kompozisyon aynı karede 2'si bir arada şampuan gibi :)
Bu duruma da yıldızlı yeşil gülen surat lazım.
Tebrikler Korkut,

A very impressive ascending composition. Our eye is first attracted by the large yellow stripe, then come down to the night city view, and finally find out the main subject, this girl crowned by the arch. A very beautiful work.

Hi Korkut,
this is a really nice work, atmosphere is great as the graphical impact, I really like it, compliments!!!

have a nice day,

Geia sou Korkut,
strange composition wit a lot of horizontals and verticals lines,that in combination with the above arch make the scene 'particular'.I like the presence of the woman the decisive moment on the stairs with this beautiful blue background.Nice presentation and wonderful idea.

Have a nice day,Danos

Merhaba Korkut,

What a image with thye different colours, you play excellent with the yellow colour.
Composition is absolutely well found, but the girl is a little bit dark through the strong light beneath.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

EXTRAORDİNARY BEAUTİFUL.

Korkut,
Amazing color compo here.
The yellow / blue combo works perfectly.
Nice job,
Regards,
JB.

simple...beautiful.
this is it!

Merhaba Korkut.

Ahhhhhhhhhh....the light...superb! Excellent in the bridge and great in the background!

Korkut hocam merhabalar;

Bu nasıl bir bakış açısıdır böyle?bir merdivende Elvis in mavi ayını görebilmek ve onu bir modelle süslemek pes doğrusu.

ellerinize bakış açınıza sağlık..

Hi Korkut, beautiful image
i love the ocntrast of colours here
the composition is great and title too..
bravo!
ciao!
Valeria

Merhaba Sevgili Korkut,

Iste bu sahane kare bir album kapagina yakisir. Aklima gelen müzik de Blue Moon degil, Moody Blues'lerin bir albumu, veya Frank Sinatra'nin "Fly Me to the Moon." Fakat surrealist bir tablo olarak acaba Photoshopla boyalarin döküldügü yerleri biraz tamir etmek olabilirmiydi?

Selam ve saygilar. (PS davetiyeyi aldininizmi?)

I like your inquisitive look and the creative sight you employ in composing unique images. This one, too is just special. The surfaces in different colors the geometry and the combinaqtion of the verse combine all in a special unity
My compliments

Fascinating composition, Korkut, in colors and lines, and not only that - also the city... Like Hercules, I would have liked more light on top, to get a clearer view of the girl... regards, Daniel

Merhaba Korkut,
nefis ışık, nefis kompozisyon..
belki model biraz daha aydınlatılabilse duygusu da daha güçlü olacaktı ama bu haliyle nefis bir ışık fotoğrafı..
tebrikler..
hakan

Bonjour Korkut.

Une composition bien pensée pour mettre cette géométrie en valeur. Les couleurs sont peu nombreuses mais elles sont superbes.
Du beau travail.
Jacques

The blue and yellow combination works very well and the exposure has been well handled with the artificial light. I particularly like the lighting around the archway and how it acts as a frame for the girl crossing the bridge.

En güzel foroğraflarından biri demek biraz tuhaf olacak, çünkü hepsi güzel. İyilerin de iyisi diyelim. Çok beğendim çok, çekmek isteyip de çekemediğim türden bir fotoğraf. Yetenek var, zeka var, sanat var, ışık var, renk var, grafik var...varoğlu var:).

Merhaba Korkut,
With that prime framing you have given that person a very special environment to move within, really clever, and nice blue hour atmosphere to go along.
Have a nice day JY

Ah, the Galata bridge ! I would not have been able to understand where you had taken this photo, the woman mysteriously surrounded by a "golden arch", disappearing in the blue night sky of the blue hour... Very nice and lyrical, nice title too,
Bravo !

Hi Korkut,
That's a great composition with a very special POV and good colours.
Very well seen
Marc

as usual, a very creative work. it's strange too see this odd balcony above us with the sight of the city at the bottom. The balcony is getting very old fashioned and it's getting dark. the cinderel have waited too long and no prince arrived. desperated she started to skretch the surface of the balcony with her fingers...
:))
wonderful image, krkt.

Blue hour composition and your krkt scene copyright of course with the girl in that hike
beautiful composition. one shot handheld? noiseless!

MESUT ILGIM

Hello Korkut
I hope you are well, I have never seen your work on here until now, its an amazing gallery you have got on TE, will be keeping an eye out for your work now. Very creative shot from yourself, a few people would have been happy just taking a capture of the sea, clouds and background.... but you have gone three steps further by adding a this stunning object with full of shapes to go with it. Secondly the yellow and lighting compliments the deep blues and thirdly you have added a human element to this..... that is creative!!! Mind blowing stuff Korkut, look forward to browsing your gallery and seeing new shots. BTW, thankyou for your comment on my image, I had never thought of it that way....
Regards
Jim

hi Korkut
the photo is already superb, but if the zone around the lady was a bit less dark, it would have been a mastepiece!!

congrats

nice framing and colors

loic

Hello korkut,
a marvelous light and blue hour!. Your point of view is just great.
Best regards
JMarc

Hello Korkut,

The angle you chose is not an easy one, and few people can see it ( Let alone take a picture of it ) I am not sure whether the lady should stay in dark or have some more light on her face, but anyway this is not a picture which goes straight, you stop and stay with it for some moments.
Friendly regards * Izzet

merhaba korkut

Agreeable sensation that they produce this photography.

The POV very loudly cheat artistic touch.

the definition and control that of light, perfect.

big work

greetings

Hello Korkut - this sis one of the most creative images I've seen lately, it's really 2 powerful images joined and separated by impressive geometric patterns.

Interesting light composition, well composed, well managed. The golden tones are beautiful and the mood is strong.
Stéphane

I really admire how you utilized this structure. This trivial concrete structure looks almost like a part of sacral building. It’s a pity that the left side of the arc is missing.
Cheers
