Alpay, yes I like the scene. You captured a lovely moment. Nice waves, birds flaying right at you, the city at the background.
But… The horizon is off by ~5 degrees, there is a lot of noise and I find the colors too much blue. So… I prepared a WS, hope you will like it and it will show how IMO the shot can be improved.

Nice nostalgic shot from the ever beautiful Istanbul Alpay!...The composition is nice and the desaturated colors are giving a nice mood and feeling...The position of the sea gulls are addind depth to the photo too...
