Tradition

In Turkey, people seemed free to dress whatever way they wanted with

due respect to religious sentiments. Thus there was a frequent mixture of

the traditional with the more western varieties. Thank you for your

constructive comments.

Samrat, I like your composition and tonal contrast of the image. Unless you have mentioned in your introductory note, I would have overlooked the contrast of dress & tradition.

A fine, solid composition. I like it.

Thank you both for your inputs. I should have mentioned in the beginning that in Turkey, people do wear different dress types rather than "seemed to". The people in general are very warm and friendly and are generous hosts. They talk to you as you pass their shops/restaurants and have a ready sense of humour. To my sheer delight, Turkish food is as excellent as their architecture.
