Photographer’s Note

Photo from the area around the grand bazaar.
Is there a tilt in this image, or is it the street ?
Hopefully there is someone who can tell.

Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, largest city proper and second largest metropolitan area in Europe, and fourth largest city proper in the world with a population of 12.6 million. Istanbul is also a megacity. Istanbul is the cultural and financial center of Turkey.

Hello Boa, strange combination the modern phoneboots with the old building at the bg. I like the result. About the tilt i have the feeling it is an optical illusion.

Hello again, Boa,
the tilt? I am not sure. It's either the street is like that, or, like Stefan said, it is lens distortion :) When some time passes it is often too difficult to remember exactly!
Anyway, I like this pattern of blue-and-white phone booths at the foot of a large (rather gloomy-looking, imho) building - and a man in one of them... nice to see him there :)
Warm regards,
Elena

Hi Boa,

nice framing of this telephone cells with blue and dark blue lines. I think in the Mediterranean countries blue is often used for painting.

Cheers,
Edi

Good One BOA.
I tink of a least a half doussin of more or less good "one liners" to this picture.
a very good mixture of heavenly architecture and and average design on daily basis.
maybe you could have straighten it up a bit, but that's absolutely a minor thing

Hello Boa,
It is very nice shot. history and technology, old and new, art and regular life, one within the other.. concordance and contrast. I liked it very much.

A nice idea, showing the contrast between old and new architecture, and that to an extent symbolises Istanbul. I wish the human figure could have been a bit more prominent, or perhaps someone walking past would have brought more life to the shot, but in general it's an interesting and worthwhile experiment.
