Photographer’s Note

This "cowboy" is selling bananas on the streets of Ankara. He displays his bananas on his horse-drawn carriage. Children are most interested in him.

Hi Sayat - it's an excellent shot in color, DOF and compo. And interesting place for a TE post, definitely. There's the incongruity of a cowboy in Ankara, but we shouldn't expect the reality to be a full confirmation of our stereotypes, so this banana-selling cowboy is great! Regards, Daniel

The man who shoot bananas faster than his own shadow. He has a mean look; I wouldn't want to come across him in a dark night. Might end up with a banana sticked in my chest. Dangerous life, this is.

Merhaba Sayat,
Güzel bir günlük hayat fotoğrafı. Arkadaki çocuğun görünümü yanında yürüyen adam fotoğrafı daha canlı hale getirdi. Kovboyuda iyi yakalamışsın, ayrıca Ulus'ta elektrik tellerine yakalanmadan bu fotoğrafı çektinya...Tebrikler.

An interesting scene in the streets of Turkey, I saw plenty of old men selling fruit but never a cowboy.

In Antalya I actually got into an argument with a fruit seller as he forced me to pay 1 Lira for 1 banana. As I had already handled the fruit he said he couldn't accept it back!

Hi Sayat
A cowboy in Ankara! and that too selling bananas. A nice compo especially the colour of the cowboy's dress. I like the DOF in this shot

Merhaba my friend,

Very intersting daily life scene and also a fine testimonial of cultural globalization.

The image itself is also technically very good in terms of composition and exposure.

Well done Sayat!

Salamlar, saludos,
Carlos

Ankaranın başka bir yüzünü gösteren çok güzel bir fotoğraf olmuş.Ellerine sağlık

Merhaba Sayat,

harika bir an yakalamışsın. Ankaranın göbeğinde muz satan bir kovboy. Biraz şaka gibi bir durum :). Benim çok hoşuma gitti. Fotografta kompozisyon ve POV cok iyi olmus. Belki satıcı genç o kadar poz verir bir durumda olmasa nasıl olurdu diye düşünülebilirdi. ellerine saglik, tebrikler.

selamlar,
Hakan

Hi Sayat,

Wonderful and colourful shot. I love your composition with the guy and the horse in the foreground and an old man walking away between them.

Cheers,

Ulf

Great classical composition.
Walking away man and the kid behind...
A hat, vest and the most important element of this 'wild west' scene...His pose, his hands...!!!
Ready to draw, eh?
Unusual, in their origins colors.
Good 'shot' may I say ?

regards

the yellow bananas next to his red shirt, his young western face with the country, almost ethnic horse, the man walking in the background, the young boy beside the green gutter pipe or bamboo, the stone, narrow street, the wood leaning against the wall next to the horse, all give a sense of culture i would like to sample. vincent
