A stunning aerial view...however, as with most aerial views, two problems are introduced: the window and haze. I take a lot of aerial shots myself...I have posted a workshop to give you a few pointers. But overall, a beautiful shot! I am jealous that you saw it first! ;)

Dilek,

What a beautiful scene! The calm bay with the reflections and a great sky to top it off! However, the horizon could use a little help, along with a note to describe the scene...I have included a workshop. Overall though, a shot with great potential!

James,

On a phone? Impressive! I am usually not much for square croppings, but with the ray of light cutting across, who can resist? Nice job visualizing the shot and getting it at the right place and right time. Great work for the equipment at hand!

Ray,

What a great shot! So many different colors and lines at play! I really like seeing the occasional landscape without the sky, and this is a great example of such! Nice work!

Jan,

I really, really like this shot! The water nearly just blends into the sky without a trace! The sun is well placed in the frame, and the reflection really adds a nice touch. A few strange artifacts on the right side midways down the frame, but still remarkable quality for a scan! Nice work!

I really like the position of the nearest gull...it brings a point of intrigue into this calm ocean scene. The horizon could use a little bit of counter-clockwise rotation, but otherwise a great shot!

Edip,

I really like this shot! There are so many different colors and shapes in the buildings. It is also interesting to see so many minarets across the city. I counted at least a dozen different mosques in this scene! It's a pity there isn't a note about this great view...

Andre,

Great candid shot....she looks very focussed on her painting. Now I am very curious...what is she painting? A great shot that leaves the viewer wondering...

George,

An amazing perspective! So many rooftops and interesting buildings! However, the image quality seems to have suffered somewhere down the line. It looks like either oversharpening, JPEG compression, or overcropping. Hopefully it is one of the above, because that means the image can be salvaged.

Daniel,

Great shot! I love the simplicity of it. If I may suggest one compositional idea though: I think the shot would have had more impact if shot straight on (not looking to the right) and framed a little tighter with the guitarist on the right side of the frame, as he is now. Overall, I like the shot, and would love to hear this man's music! Good work!
