Rainy Morning in Istanbul

Any comments welcome.Thank you.:-)

Catherine, for me this is as beautiful as any landscape or sunset. The tonal range is very good although on my screen the man in the black has lost some detail. The composition looks about spot on and I really like the lines and textures especially on the wet footpath.

I like the way this picture builds from bottom to top. Rain enhances the dimensionality nicely too. In the foreground the man closest to the camera blends with the car and the concrete quite completely, which makes him seem little bit like pasted in to the picture. The fact that he doesn't have an umbrella and he's separated from other people there gives good contrast. I just wish that there were a bit more detail in the darker colors, although I can see that it has been a difficult scene to master.

Wonderful composition and tones.
