[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another picture taken while crossing the Atlas Mountains. A long but extremely interesting curvy road, full of surprises and unexpected views. This building symbolizes the entry to a new department near the High Atlas, departing from Marrakech. I couldn't resist stopping the car, and tried to find a pleasant angle. I was well aware that the cloud forming a triangle would create a nicer picture, and tried to include them. Viewers will certainly note that the building is centered. It was done on purpose, after trying de-centered positions (Right or wrongly) I decided to opt for a centered choice.

Merhaba İzzet Bey,
Binanın pastel ton fonu üstündeki beyaz geometrik desenlerinin bu açıdan yansıması çok etkileyici... Ancak esas ilgimi çeken; açı tercihinizde dikkat etmiş olduğunuz bulutların konumunun binanın tepe noktası ile olan uyumu... Bulutların oluşturduğu üçgen ile binanın tepe noktasındaki dik üçgenin kesiştiği nokta bence fotoğraf gözünü geliştirme çabasındaki bizler için önemli bir detay.... Tebrikler ve teşekkürler...
Sevgiler-Coşkun

Not: Bu hafta 10 günlük bir Doğu Karadeniz turuna çıkmayı planlıyorum... 17 temmuz gibi dönmüş olacağım... Yaylalarda TE ye ulaşma şansımın zayıf olacağını düşünüyorum... Ancak sizin doğa fotoğraflarınızı da yanımda götürmeyi ihmal etmeyeceğimi bilmenizi isterim... Kopya değil, sadece ders almak amacıyla :))

Congratulation, I will not have to dare to thus center the subject and yet it is very beautiful. Ciao/jr

Hi Izzet
You got very beautiful lines here, splendid sky!!
Well seen! Congratulations.

Hi Izzet. I think what makes this photo special is the combination of wide angle, and the special patterns in the sky that appear as if to be emerging from the top of the building. Fine tech, good light and also the polarizer worked out nicely with this one. Greetings from Madrid (business trip, no time for photos).

And it was a very good decision as your photo is great as it is. Perfect composition and very nice colors. Very well done

Excellent landscape. GOod idea to capture the vertex of the cloud formation right on top of the lonely building. [Afterwards I read your note and see the deliberate thought behind this. Very difficult decision but successful.]

Hello Izzet,
Excellent work. I love the cloud pattern here. I like the effect that the cloud is originating from top of the building! To me it seems that probably this is the best position where you can place the building!
Best regards,
Sayan

Olá Izzet,
I have made some treking around this place and this landscape remind me good moments. Amazing shot of this curious piece of architecture, with the clouds pointing to them. Indeed, experts like you taught me to de-centered the subjects and now you present this. Of course that I trust in your experience, so here this must be the right choice.

Merhaba Sayın Hocam,
Kahverengi bina üzerindeki beyaz geometrik desenler ve gökyüzündeki bulutlarla harika bir kompozisyon olmuş. Ellerinize sağlık.
Saygılarımla...

Hi izzet,

normally I dont like central placements in photos but I think this is the best option here. I think the geometry of the clouds in the sky forces that choice. The V shaped cloud converges on this gorgeous building and the effect is excellent.

waw!great shot!the sky and that cloud looks amasing!and that building..in that light and with that cloud above is fantastic!
TFS!

Hello Izzet,
I like your centre of attraction. Nice composition with smooth colours. I observe you love the traingles.
Regards,
rajeev

Salut Izzet
J'aime bien cette photo même si académiquement j'aurais placé la porte plus à gauche. Mais l'idée avec les nuages démontre une recherche certaine de composition. Bonne qualité et couleurs.
Amicalement
JP

hi izet,
splendid shot of a banal view!!you id it well,for me,because its a border between two departements,it is ok to put the building in the middle.All colours are nice.

Hallo Izzet
the elightened gate centered down standing out from the darker landscape and the V-shape on top makes this a very strong compo to spot the gate out.
Very well captured.

Harika bir fotograf, Fotograflarınızı ilgi ile takip ediyorum.

Very nice photo with this building which looks quite amizing in this place ;) Very good colours, and good compo either.

Best Regards,
Pawel

Izzet Bey,
Dogru karari vermissiniz ve cok hos bir kompozisyon cikmis ortaya.. Ucgen sekilli bulutun fotograftaki etkileyiciligi yadsinamaz, tabii ki yapitin renklerinin gokyuzu ve Atlas'a verdigi kontrastin da.
Benim de bu yollara dususum yakindir, bol bol sasirmak ve ogrenmek dilegiyle.

Sevgiyle,
Asli
