Missing istanbul

what do you think?

I like the composition, with plenty of water showing in the forground (helps give a sense of distance), and the overall "mood" of the image. Just curious, did you use a filter?

Only Skylight filter. In autumn sunset is always like this. A fantastic city for photosafari. I am sure you can do better if you visit Istanbul or Turkey for more. Thanx for your thoughts and comment.

You asked what I think - well I think the single word above pretty much sums it up. Definitely my kind of image - you'll probably see what I mean if you visit my portfolio or website - it's exactly the sort of image I'm trying for. I don't think I'm in a position to offer "constructive criticism" because I haven't really taken many shots (if any) which are any better than this, but I would say maybe if the subject boat had been a little further over to the right with more space to move into this may have improved the composition very slightly.

 

Great work!

Excellent shot...near perfect.

 

The horizon was well placed to give the picture depth.

 

Tiny nitpicks: would've like the boat just slightly off center on the right. Water and small waves towards the back could use sharper focus.

Great shot, simply beautiful!

The shot is absolutely beautiful. Period. I love the composition, and the slightly out of focus minarettes in the background add an ethereal quality that keeps this from being just another silhouette of a boat shot. Top marks for composition! That being said, I have seen quite a few shots like this. They were not nearly as good as this, but nonetheless, I wanted to explain giving you an "average" rating for originality. Please take no offense, as I really do love the photo.

Beautiful picture. The composition is just excellent!

Excellent composition, yes, as usual... And magnifiscent light too...
