Sonny got caught in the moonlight
A wanted man with a haunted heart
Sonny found out the hard way

Playing for keeps, loser weeps
He said he'd come back when the lion sleeps

Sonny got caught in the moonlight
Paint graffiti on the subway wall
Sonny got lost in the blue night
They stood like statues, legs spread wide
Catch him in the crossfire and take him by surprise

Most my life I've been running
Paint a portrait of a fool
With my heart in my hands
They've come to take me down

Sonny got caught in the moonlight
By the power that can turn the tide
I heard three shots around midnight

Driven by the passion, running from the heat
No questions asked...
He's just a kid from the street...


(Robbie Robertson)




...taken in Kos where i had been for a congress last week... on the promenade by the harbour...

Selam sevgili Korkut,
Dünyanın neresine gidersen git, mutlaka bir gemotrik düzen ve de ışık-gölge sahnesi yakalıyorsun. Avuç içi kadar Kosta da yakalmışsın.
Bu da buram buram grafik etkisi taşıyan bir kare. Sağ uçtaki sahneyi terketmekte olan gölge harika.
Robertson'un şiiri de işin bonusu !
Tebrikler
Selam ve sevgiler
MESUT ILGIM

Beautiful seen, beautiful composed file mou. Very good use the design on the ground with the all shadow of the man and a part of his body.
Have a nice evening.

Hi Korkut
I've just had a walk through your gallery and am impressed: everywhere you go, you manage to take unusual pictures! Congratulations.
This shot also shows your ability to look for interesting motives and you used it well. I've seen many cut-legged shots, some of them just being a copy of someone else's idea, but here I feel the spirit of originality ;-)
Best regards
Joanna

gölgenin yerine bayıldım.. tam olması gereken aralıkta.. yerdeki şekiller, ışığın parlaklığı ve s&B nin gücü... tam senlik kompo olmuş.. sözler çok uymuş gerçekten.. "he's just a kid from the street"..
eline sağlık, çok beğendim:)

Bonsoir Korkut
superbe graphisme, cadrage et excellente ambiance donnée par le n&b. La photo me plait beaucoup. J'aime ce genre de travail.
Bravo
Xavier

Lovely one, Korkut. Has me thinking Hopscotch. Don't know what you call it in Turkish. Rayuela in Spanish. In fact, it reminds me just a bit of one I took called "Rayuela". (NO SELF-PROMOTION INTENDED.) (Maybe we should start a group.) Excellent textures and tones. Best, -Hugh

(Actually, there is already a group, I remember, created by dear departed Franck. I will add this one.)

Great capture, I like specially your composition and balance, thank you for sharing and show us how to take a great picture.
Regards
Manuel

bunu böyle denk getirmek için bekleyecek vaktin olduğuna göre yine epey bir boş zamanın olmuş kos'ta. hoca da tuvaletteydi galiba...

bwiti de gitmiş. te iyice sıkıcılaşıyo...

Hi Korkut,
Splendid impression once more with creative composition. I like the idea and the superb realizaton. Very well done!
Have a nice evening

No way that this is moonlight ... ! Yet the analogy is a good one and the texture of the ground with the shadow is a nother perfect simplistic, minimalist compositio of yours although I question if you really needed to include part of the body. Why not cropping the body off and just leaving the shadow?

merhaba korkut bey
çok güzel bir geometrik düzen ve nefis bir ışık gölge kombinasyonu olmuş.bakış açınız ve detaylar son derece mükemmel elinize sağlık.
selamlar

Korkut Bey merhaba,
Cok guzel bir kompozisyon yakalamissiniz, harika bir grafik etki,
Elinize saglik,
Tulay

Hi Korkut - yes, these floor patterns are sometimes good places for getting nice graphical shots, like this one of yours. I was playing with it in a WS for a different version. Regards, Daniel

Çok güzel filarako Korkut!
Great verse and nice B/W approach. The contrasts are just very good and the geometry unrolled my stabilizing feeling
Thanks for another very good one
Argiris

Mesut bey hakli, nereye gitsen gozun yakaliyor bu tarz sekilleri. Sabrin da var belli ki, bekleyip golgeyi tam olmasi gereken yere konduruyorsun. Basliktaki a olacak, o yazmissin yanlislikla.
Optum.

Grafik,gölge etkisi,S/B büyüsü ile mükemmel bir çalışma olmuş.
Ellerinize sağlık
Selamlar

I love the light on the patterned floor; it's almost glowing. You always manage to make me like something I normally hate. Like a person walking out of the shot is something I try to avoid like the plague, but somehow in this instance it was the only way. Well done
Kath

Ciao Korkut,
great composition with these interesting textures on the ground and the superb shadow. Beautiful tonality of B&W. Excellent capture in the moonlight

Hi Korkut,
very well captured and composed shot in a well chosen vertical shot. Great b/w with a clever use and play with the harsh light. Very well done, my friend!

Hello Korkut,

J'aime les photos de sol, on fait, en regardant vers le bas, souvent de belles découvertes. Graphisme au rendez vous ici, c'est très beau.
Bon we

Hello Korkut,
as almost ever a minimalistic shot accompanied with a wonderful poem.I like the nice shapes of the side-walk and the shadow that is made of the promenade of the the harbor...Excellent choice of the B/W format.

Have a nice day,Danos

Hi Korkut,

this is such a poetic shot...and followed by a nice text. I think you bring all your feelings to us when you combine great images with interesting notes. They complete each other and it's visible it's your style. Thanks for sharing both. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Korkut
Excellent capture with the shadow and silhouette so well placed. I like the graphics and texture of the pavement. The vertical format was the right choice.
Regards
Nikki

another signature capture! that fullsize shadow of the gentleman is well enhanced amongst the differrent geometric ground figures. the notes, well, that's another KB's signature we always look for.
nice one, doc.
Benedict

It’s an ok-shot, nothing more though. It looks like as you felt obliged to post something from Kos, only because you were there.
Cheers

Excellent composition, like always.. :) Fantastic balance and the black & white works perfectly too! Regards, Doug
