I like this one. Tell me why you don't! :thumbsup:

The big reason I don't like it is I didn't take it. Other than that it is just fine, Jeff

Excellent !! nice soft gray tones

Interesting contrast of the stores vs the mosque(?)

Is it a somewhat long exposure ? the water looks a bit softened but people look ok

Thanks Jeff!

Armando, I'm glad you like the grey. I would've thought that would be one complaint I would get, it's too grey. Yes, it's a an old mosque, Ottaman era.

It's a semi-long exposure, maybe 1 second or less, the water I softened up with motion blur in Photoshop, It's a nice trick to get the harshness out of the water, but it's best applied really lightly. Thank you!

The water is the only thing that bothers me, this would have been brilliant had the mosque been reflected in the water, but never the less its still something I would have loved to have taken.

Incredible shot! Very cleverly juxtaposed.
Are there people fishing at the top?!
