my eyes off of you Photo

Photographer’s Note

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel.
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off of you...

(from the lauryn hill version of the famous song...)

...taken on a ferry boat crossing the bosphorus...

Hi Korkut,

This is a nice shot, which looks really good in B&W. You've used the depth of field nicely to focus in on the subject and her flowing, slightly blurred hair really adds a sense of the breeziness to the shot.

Cheers
Simon

I loved this shot when I saw it on FB. That woman (whoever she might be ;)) looks like a model or a movie star with her hair blowing in the wind. The B&W color tones are perfect. Great capture.

Ryan

Merhaba,
Gerçekten çok hoş bir kare, en çok rüzgarın saçları alıp götürmesine hayran kaldım ...

Merhaba Korkut

Sıradışı bir portre fotografı olmuş saçların dansı kareye dinamizm katmış
Netlik ve renkler adeta konuşuyor :))

İyi akşamlar

Beautiful portrait in delicate sepia tones. Like very much wind seemingly moving the woman's hair to complete diagonal line of her hand. Young and charming.
Greetings T.

Merhaba Korkut!!

Great!!!

Simply great!! A lovely portrait, seems to be one of this 50´s movies...
She looks beautiful, your option to post in B&W fitrs really well and adds value to the capture...
Brilliant!!

Have a very nice week...

Friendly

Manuel

PS: I will add to my theme "Songs and images" THANKS!!

kensimage (8543) 2009-04-05 13:11

Honestly, Korkut, I don't know what to think...you're on the ferry with your wife, and as soon as she's not looking, you're shooting pictures of pretty young ladies! ;-)

The windblown hair and the feminine pose of her hand give this a nice relaxed "holiday" look. And there's her casual smile, almost as if she knew you--I guess maybe you're a well-known flirter all across the nation of Turkey!

Regards, Ken.

Colombiana (2600) 2009-04-05 13:33

Hey Korkut!

Ohhh I love that song from Frankie Valli...

beautiful portrait of the devil wearing Prada!

cheers!

Nice picture.

Merhaba Korkut.

Excellent colours and details! The contrasts, as usual in you, are great!

Rgs, Oscar

Merline (6578) 2009-04-05 20:14

Well Korkut:-), aren't you a cheeky one ? hmmm
She looks like a movie star in the style of the fifties-sixties, fresh and young and beautiful, and glamorous, but keeping that natural beauty, very stylish. I love the tonality, her sunglasses and the gesture of the hand, the smile and the hair all over, blowing in the wind. Beautiful work !
Hugs and kisses.
Michèle

Hmmmm...man, what's this??? ;-)))
Lovely good looking lady, if she is yours than i have to congratulate you ;-)
Nice profile shot, very sharp, but also the colour toning is what i like in here.....very beautiful woman.

NickPavlakis (492) 2009-04-06 2:07

Very good my friend! As always your eye meets what needs to be photgraphed, and you are quick enough to do it!
I like it, the sepia tone makes the eye stare at the details.
Bravo file moy

TopGeo (22457) 2009-04-06 4:13

Hi Korkut,A interesting picture and a important song from one exceptional artist. Do I like the portrait and my verse didn't report "And I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true." I thank you also,
Regards,

Georgios

Budapestman (43200) 2009-04-06 6:46

Hi Korkut,
I see, you did not pay attention to the view...other beauties absorbed your attention entirely. :) I love it the composition. I do not detail the lady's beauty rather...obvious. Exciting and beautiful portrait. Congratulations. Have a nice week!
George

burGu (4558) 2009-04-06 7:29

Sabah gördüğümden beri içim hop hop ediyor, bu da silinir mi acaba diye. Akşamın bu saati hala yerinde durduğunu görmek nasıl bir mutluluk anlatamam :)
Senden yeni fotoğraf görmek, hem de senden alışık olduğumuz merdiven/grafik/kapı duvar fotoğrafı dışında bir deneme görmek nasıl güzel nasıl güzel...
Resmen ellerine sağlık

Excellent portrait, quite "straightforward" for your style, excellent tight framing and composition, great timing for this "natural" take, excellent light managment and b&w choice! Congratulations!

hi Korkut,
I like the photo a lot, it's both glamorous and very relaxed, a dream of every woman :) the luminous light adds a feeling of luxury and sophistication, really beautiful portrait :)

best,
Kristine

p.s. yes, the reason I had to go to Boston was to bail out the man with the blue turban :P

gokanlam (6431) 2009-04-06 10:41

White and black angel ! (the only "black" elements are her sunglasses);))). Very soft work, Korkut. Like a drawning.

Fotoğrafı daha açmadan sanki 1960'larda çekilmiş bir filmden bir enstantane gibi geldi bana. Halbuki daha iki gün önce çekilmiş. Gerek netliği, gerek ışık kullanımıyla tam bir ustalık eseri... Tebrikler.

zeynepe (9390) 2009-04-07 3:18

Kendisiyle henüz tanışmadık amma fotoğrafa neden başladığın belli Korkut.Çok şanslısın harika bir modelin var... Bu tonlar harika , gizli formülünü versene :P
Çok hoş bir portre tebrikler ...
Zeynep

Dpbours (220) 2009-04-07 5:06

Hello Korkut,

If I see the photographs you make and post on ferries crossing the bosphorus, I'd say that that's the only thing I'll be doing when visiting Istanbul ;-).

Dennis

luisafonso (858) 2009-04-07 7:37

Very nice one Korkut! I probably have gone for a stop less to get more detail on those whites, but the moment is incredible. Those "waves" in the top of her head are utterly romantic. And she is indeed very beautiful... No wonder your camera fell in love here. :)

tehanu_f (6874) 2009-04-07 13:56

kataraktima iyi geldi bu :))))

gunbud (28247) 2009-04-07 17:43

Hi Korkut,
This one is amazingly clear and sparkling with a bit of dynamic action of the flowing hair that is seen in perfect focus.
The little diddy fits your fine image to a T.
Regards, Tom

hi korkut,

I am not completely convinced by this hand that hides this beautiful face, anyway she has a star attitude with her hairs floating in the air.

Hi Korkut,

beautiful model, lovely pose. You did a professional work here. It could be printed in a fashion magazine as a Prada propaganda for sure. Love this, man!

Hello Korkut
Very beautiful portrait and bw. Composition is excellent !

maria (2882) 2009-08-10 13:02

You know by now this type of images don't make me stop; I am not into portraits but the light on that 'smudged' hair is to blame for.
Excellent tension contrasted by the fairly white foreground and the darker background.
Regards,
Maria

nes7 (717) 2009-11-21 6:11

Güzel model:)) güzel portre, güzel bakış. Doğal aynı zamanda havalı olmuş... Rüzgarın esişi, gülümseme, bayanın el hareketi ve muzipliği fotoyu renklendiriyor. S&B seçim yakışmış. Beğendiklerimden biri... tebrikler.
