Davutoglan VIII-Bird Sanctuary Nallihan, a photo from Ankara, Central Anatolia

Photographer's Note

Eighth shot in the series. This time, let's have a closer look at the fields. Time is near to the end of a work day, sun is setting. Although machinery has reduced much of the hard work, laborers are still needed for doing most of the work.

Note: They are cultivating lettuce (dark green rows) and iceberg lettuce (light green rows).

Thanks for viewing,

Merhaba Suleyman
I like this one with all the rows of culture (potatoes maybe ?) and the 3 lines of people working either bent or standing
The light is strong and the greenery is is in high contrast with the garay mountain in the shade at the BG
Colorful and luminous indeed
Best regards

la lumière de fin de journée est très agréable et crée une ambiance intéressante avec un léger contre-jour.
Les lignes créent de beaux effets combiné avec la présence des travailleurs dans le champ.
Bonne soirée

Great shot Suleyman! Amazing columns of light and color that drives the eyes to the impressive mountainous BG. The people give a good balance to the image.

Bu fotoğrafa bakınca insan emeğinin değerini anlıyor insan.. Eskiden büyüklerimiz bize tabağımızda bir pirinç tanesi bile bıraksak bunun günah olduğunu boşuna söylememişler demek ki, şu insanların verdiği bu emeği görünce insan o yada bu şekilde çoğu zaman da gösteriş uğruna ziyan edilen yiyeceklerin adeta suç işlemekle eşdeğer olduğunu düşünüyor insan. bir miktar ziyan, kayıp olacak elbet ancak daha dikkat edilmeli diye düşünüyorum.
Tarlalara vuran akşam ışığını çok nefis kullanmışsın, tebrikler abi.
Çok selam,
Engin.

Hello Suleyman,
this is an exquisite photo, a stunning aspect of lovely Nillihan. The sense of depth with the many parallel rows of plants drawing and leading the viewer to the end of the field and the lit area is superb. Then, there are the three rows of people which make a diagonal that also adds depth and perspective. Lighting is brilliant, you've rendered all the natural colours and textures in a very clear and vivid way. I love the brightness of the plants. The magnificent mountain in the shade has lost the intensity of its colours but still looks very suggestive. The people working give life to this delightful view at the end of the day, when the field shines under the sweet sunlight and they must be absolutely tired. But they have given life to the field literally. A wonderful work, congratulations my friend and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,
Ourania

Hello Suleyman - You have really built up a fabulous collect of images from this location. here we see something quite different from the sweeping landscapes. A more intimate shot and an interesting glimpse of manual work out in the fields, men and women working side bu side. Beautifully lit rows of vivid green against the familiar layers of rock. Super shot. Warm regards Rosemary

Hello Suleyman,

A very nice image with beautiful rows of plants in this field. Very attractive colors with 2 shades of green dominating the scene. A nice close up shot showing these workers in different stages. The mountain makes a nice background. I like the color contrast with nice play of light.

Harika , nefis bir sunum.

An interesting and well composed picture. The light green lines in the field are contrasting the dak blue structures of the background hill and the three different lines of working people are well positioned. A very good photo!

Hi Suleyman
Love the vividness of yellow and green rows, Its very artistically created. A superb rendition of this image in fine details and subtle light. Perspective and the composition is just right but I love contrast it makes to the distant darker shade. The farm bright colors glue the eyes and presence of human elements add life. Excellent shot. Congrats
Best regards
