Hi Korkut,
A beautiful photo, the centre of which for me is the young girls beautiful smile. I love how you timed this so that the boat is in the reflect place, and it looks quite menacing all in black like this. That menacing look contrasts great with the pleasant young girl. The skyline of course is stunning, I recognise buildings there at I used to build in the game Sim City :)
Wonderful choice in black and white too.
Cheers
Noel

Hello Korkut

For some reason, this photograph reminds me of a nineteenth century studio portrait: somehow the background, and especially the junk, look like a painted set. But I'm pretty sure I've stood in the same place, and know the geography "fits". So maybe it's the light on the girl: key, fill and backlight? No, I'm sure it's straight, kosher! And I love it!

Regards

Will

Hi Korkut,
A lovely pose that is so successfully combined with that classic boat and ultramodern Hong Kong skyline. Modernism and traditions well in harmony.
