The Meeting

Comments & criticisms appreciated.

Nice shot!

 

 

Perfect caption for this excellent composition, Bulent. The scene, forms, textures and perspective are great. Original work! Congrats!

I like it, maybe, if it was in b/w?

Good composiiton. Maybe try it also in B/W

Thank you all for commenting on this photo.

I did try monochrome and duotone versions of some of the photos in this series (a total of 5, in fact).

Unfortunately, none pleased me.

The most troublesome aspect was perhaps the original "grain" on the stones covering the building.

B&W conversion tended to exaggarete that too much...

Very well balanced photograph exposure and composition wise and of very outstanding DOF, wishing you all of the best my friend.

good thing you included so much from the actual environment because it makes for a very effective and telling composition. All the lines do a great job in putting the attention there where it should be.

Nice one Bulent, a very enjoyable composition and presentation.

I really like the extraordinary and surprising balance of this picture, like someone successfully juggling a bowling ball, a ping pong ball and a fishbowl full of goldfish. Nicely done.

Interesting scale of construction, elements and people in this composition.As the building is having bright colors, the colorful group of people became the center of attension. well composed Bulent.

Bulent, I would love to see the bw version of this one.

really good composition. It tells a story, and has such a subtle balance, well done. Thanks for sharing, Giuseppe

This is nice, well seen and captured !

This is a wonderful composition.

everyone said what needs to be said. This is a good meeting. . . I mean photograph! I'm almost sure you may have considered a vertical crop, or maybe horizontal - Its a most flexible image and since the picture.works so well any of the choices would have worked.

 

There is quite a bit to see here and my only nit is how you chose to upload, the scale of the image incompatible with the postal stamp size.

Many thanks to you all for your rewarding comments; much appreciated.

I am really sorry to respond this late to your comments, I have no idea how this happened!

Lorenza,

My attempts at converting this one to B&W did not produce a pleasing result.

The native grain of the stones was the biggest problem and they somehow have stolen attention from the group.

A selective blurring or noise reducton in that part did not work either...

Carlos,

As always, you are right! I did consider a vertical format especially but ended up with this one.

Regarding the size, I will try uploading a larger version.

I do not remember why I had uploaded this photo in a smaller than usual size!
