This has to rank as one of your best, most memorable images, Nezih. The conversion is first class, the sense of occasion and poise admirable.
Best wishes,

Andrew

I really like the mood of this shot - does what a good photograpph should do - makes you stop - look and think

Very nicely done

Thank you all! Three days of walking around Istanbul and showing places to my son proved to be very fruitful. They were all there to be taken in and I enjoyed shooting them.

Nezih I was going to say that this is the best photo I've seen you post here, then I read Andrew's comment and found he has already said everything! Very good shot

Nezih, this is excellent in all sense of the word! Does this man know, you're taking a shot of him?
