Why we need the old bridge at Mostar ?, a photo from Bosniak-Croat, West

Photographer's Note

Famous Mostar Bridge from Koski Mehmet Pasha Mosque's minaret.

In over-photographed places, usually photographers try to find unusual compositions. But elegance of this bridge and the town stopped me to try something 'artistic'. Nothing could be more 'artistic' than this bridge !

For story of Mostar and the bridge, for explanation of the title please see the article published on the Herald Tribune

Hello Cem,
From this POV you don't show only the bridge but also an important part of that beautiful town. The colours are absolutely very nice and specially the blue and green of the river.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Cem,
I was there when the bridge was collapsed and the remnants of war were sadly visible everywhere. I can only admire this more joyful and pleasant view and hope it will last forever. Well brought in splendid clear colours.
Regards,
Paul

Merhaba Cem Bey,

Nicely vibrant in full with colors. Also well composed and obviously shot from a good point of view. It`s really a beautiful town, a shame it at times had such a dark history (as did the rest of the country).

Best regards.

Hi Cem,
Wonderful scenery!
Great lighting and focusing!
The colors are fantastic and composition is like a fairy-tale village with a marvellous bridge!
A clean presentation.
Regards.

Hello Cem,
Very provocative title, but luckily you have a good explanation.
I'm going to my hometown very soon, so I'll try to make some unusual photos of this bridge and old town.
The best part of this photo are beautiful colors.
Thanks!

martı menzili aşmış, mostara kadar uçmuş, yine konmuş yüksekçe bir yere şehri seyre dalmış... martının gözünden mostar bir başka güzelmiş... martı kim bilir daha neler neler çekmiş...

well done Dionysos; i've been here last summer, mostar is very interesting; you capture a remarkable moment, with vivid colours, and good perspective; i just dont't like the left roofs, in the buton, but i understand that it's not easy take this picture without them; otherewise, it's a great postcard.
