Old friends in the old cafe

Dedicated to JeffS L ...

A beautiful shot, very nicely composed, Mehmet!

Estupenda toma y momento captado, con una luz y b&w. excelente.

 

Cordial greetings -Tolo.

Excellent Work. Regards

Even though it's a contemporary picture, it has the feeling of an interior shot from the 19th century in which people seem caught in a timeless space where they will remain waiting forever. I like it very much.

I love all the tile and the stove right in the middle of all the action (if that's what you call it).

First of all, thank you for the dedication. It's an honor. What's interesting to me is that this is not a photo I could have taken, but it is represents scenes I aspire to take. I've been looking at pictures of Cartier-Bresson, currently the subject of a MOMA exhibit in NY. I can't go, but the rest of the family are going to the show. There's something reminiscent in this photo to his expert work, a natural ordering of subjects and scene. Lovely work, as always.

This is a beautiful capture and good composition...Actually,we have this old cafe in our country too...We call these places"ghahve khaneh"..means a place for having tea and rest for awhile...You can eat something,have a rest and smoking a hubble bubble with drinking tea...An old place for visiting old people and old friends...This shot is very touchable for me and I have many memories with every details...Anyway,thanks so much for your good shot and sharing this with us!

I like the scene a lot, what a nice atmosphere. Excellent composition as well. Best regards.

Story telling capture, Mehmet! This one has soul!!! Always a pleasure to see you posting this kind of street scenes.

Real life depiction of what people do when they get old. Great capture! Regards.

Excellent documentary shot Mehmet...full of atmoshere. Rgds Ds.

fantastic capture...

Another great work from you ,best regards .

Well composed and captured Mehmet. Great choice of B/W. Best wishes-Jim

Terrific shot, Mehmet. As El says "This one has soul". ~~~~~~L

Wonderful moment of life!

This is great, like the moment you have captured!

a masterpiece. Composition, centered around the stove, light and composure of  the "old friends" are just great.

What I like about your photos is that they really well convey a sense of culture and life - and this one of the best examples.

Best regards,
Wolfgang

Another moment in time perfectly captured

Nice  place to be ... fantastic photo! 

You have certainly captured something, presumably representative, and unique here.   A part of culture and history.   I would hesitate to express exactly what it is.   Nevertheless it probably represents a moment about which people may look back and say "I remember being around in such a time and the cafe".  In some ways it is a haunting image.   Don't know about the title - as the four in the front seem disassociated,  though may be taking out time to reflect.  I would have called it "Pondering life and change"  :-),  Congratulations,  Jim

Well done.

Great scene - well composed ... looks great in B/W.

Nice shot and post processing. I probably would have gone for a tad more contrast, though.
