    Istanbul Sunset

    Hello friends
    I've been suffering from a bit of photographer's block, if that even exists. That and my two full time jobs have been keeping me extra busy! I finally went out of the country on a little trip to east europe. Finally got some time for myself and my favourite hobby. Here's a sunset in Istanbul. Let me know what you think.

    Beautiful. No suggestions.

    Reminds me of the opening shot in Midnight Express.

    Perfect, Liban. Stunning. Love the color and the composition is very strong. Glad you got the time to get some shooting in.

    Didn't take long for this one to get a well deserved sticky.
    Those birds really add to this composition.
    Keep Shooting!

    Congrats on the sticky. The birds add a very cool element and the shapes work well as a silhouette. Even as an obsessive nit-picker I'm short on nit-picks. I'll come back if I can think of one:arf:

    Dray & Gary, Thanks guys.

    Frog & Anbesol, yeah the birds are definitely the strong glue to this photo.

    Even without the birds this would be a great shot, but those three birds crank it up another notch, worthy sticky Liban

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Congrats on the Sticky, Liban! (And thanks for the add, btw.)

    Travel photography is perhaps the most rewarding facet of the art (from where I'm sitting, anyway) and you're truly a master.
