Hi Sedat,
A wonderful capture of this gorgeous structure over the sea. The inclusion of the seagulls injects the life in this picture. The waves also look great. Overall, it's a great snap!

Hi Sedat,
There is plenty of action in this shot, with seagulls flying around and waves crashing. The colour of the rocks is great too. Excellent point of view, looking through the hole in the rock. I think the photo is oversharpened slightly - there is a bright line along the edge of the rock in the right.

Some notes about the photo would be good too.

Cheers,
vince

Sedat,

Amazing POV and a shot well taken. In the thumb it almost looked like a painting. The door(to somewhere), the waves, the color of the water, the details of the rocks and the seagulls, everything is perfectly placed and captured. A note about your shot would have been enlightening.

This one has beautiful and extremely wonderful textures and colours and has been composed very expertly. The composition is well balanced and sweetly planned.

Hello Sedat,
you are presenting a wonderful image here. The colours of the water are stunning, and the fishing seaguls create busy atmosphere, I can almost here the noise.
Bravo Regards
