Interesting photo, creative framing! I like the distortion at the edge of the window. TFS.

Very interesting shot, well seen. I like the guy in the back looking at me, like he knows you're there. congradulations.

Very unique shot. Everyone looks like they are lost in their own world. Very creative and nicely framed.

Oh! Very good. I love how they didn't notice you. (Except that one guy.) The newspaper is a nice touch. Lovely.

Selam Mustafa.
İlginç ve ilginç olduğu kadar yaratıcı ve etkileyici bir kare. Çok etkilendiğimi belirtmeliyim. Eline sağlık.
Tek kelime ile HARİKA.....

özellikle önde solda duran bayanın bakışları çok etkileyici.pencereden yapılan çekim oldukça yaratıcı, eline sağlık.

You have perhaps noticed the barrel distortion in this image, which is a minor point. (Note the converging lines at the bottom.) The capture is first rate Mustafa. Good eye. The slight distortion from the glass is a nice feature, and the depth of field is excellent. Everyone seems unaware of your camera, except the one gentleman at the right middle, who gazes over his glasses toward the window. I like that touch. Fine work.

Excellent composition. You captured a small fragment of humanity here.
What facinates me is that practically no one is seems to be communicating with anyone else. People just sharing a moment with others – nothing more.

Maru (0) 2005-01-28 16:34

Great idea and composition! I love the POV, it's like a private eye to the others world..
Everyone with it own pose, expression, in its own world, nobody sharing with the oter...
Just a fantastic shot and and incredible crop and frame.
Congratulations!

Really intereseting shot. I like the porthole out of focus, and the fact that only one person has spotted you.

Good work.

anurts (249) 2005-01-28 18:40

Merhaba Mustafa, you really captured this group of people well. They seem to be from the same family. We can all get along. Thanks for sharing!

markoci (3933) 2005-01-28 19:20

oh this is sooo well composed! a very well caught moment. the dreamy girl in bottom left, the sleepers, the old man in glasses looking out the window, the readers (the excellent details on the newspaper to give us reference to geographical location), the guy on the left second row checking out the woman across him, the only man who seemed to have noticed you looking into the camera and all of that beautifully framed by the ship's cabin window to give us a sense of location. excellent, excellent!! inspired me to do a workshop if you don't mind. congrats!

p.s. they don't seem to be too nervous.

jmfarace (342) 2005-01-28 20:16

Fantastic Mustafa!!!...

This is a very unique shot, great composition... as I look at this particular image I feel as if I were in a dream and trying to figure out - who are these people???... , or looking at a crystal ball looking into the future... good capture...

yekjohn (1890) 2005-01-28 21:19

Very well seen. Absoultely fantastic framing! Great composition. Wow! Cheers, John.

Emile (20352) 2005-01-28 22:00

Excelente foto, con un extraordinario foco de las personas sentadas, puedo casi leer las noticias en el periodico. Well done.

Hi Mustafa !
This is a great idea and a very successful work !
The expressions of people's faces are very well caught and it perfectly reveals the atmosphere in transportation in the morning even in a ferry.
And you have a frame, a very natural one which is like an eye watching them, spying them ...
Congrats
Sylvie

Dionysos (1234) 2005-01-31 10:31

Harika bir fikir ve harika bir sonuç.

Fotografçı gözü de zaten böyle birşey olmalı, 'gündelik'ten 'sanat'ı üretecek bir şey.

Şu fotoğrafta benzer durumlar için bir başka harika fikir var, bunu gorunce yararlı olabilir diye dusundum. Wat Phra Singh again

jayfavre (63) 2005-02-05 1:37

Mustafa bey, Cok Guzel - really, that is life on the vapor. Great stolen moment.

Steft (6109) 2005-02-05 8:07

Very good picture. Very original to take it through a window. Yes, you can really see the worries and thoughts of the people. This one also goes to my favourites.

Very interesting and good picture.Congratulations.

imoko (397) 2005-02-24 1:38

Merhaba!
cok ilginç resim!

KevRyan (22956) 2005-02-26 13:20

Well done Mustafa for showing us that range of early morning thoughts and feelings - I wish I'd had a camera a few weeks ago in London to capture the expressions on London buses - a clever use of the window to capture the nautical setting as well as a good way of not distracting the people so much - very interesting.

superbe . It meeds time to look at each passenger...none of them knows that somebody is capturing their portraits ...it is like a stolen picture... with no desagreable consequence!...for the people, and an excellent shot for you.thank you to share

This is a very interesting voyeuristic picture that gives a different perspective upon daily life. I don't know if it would have been possible, but the picture may have been stronger with the surround in focus - but then on the other hand, it looks pretty good as it is.

[A very little thing on the note - do you mean anxious or nervous? I think the people are anxious to get to work and what will be happen today, but they are probably not nervous about what will happen. I notice when talking with non native English speakers that they get confused with these two words. Not important, and this is a photo critique site rather than language, but it is something I notice a lot of people have trouble with.]

Curioso (9271) 2005-04-01 11:50

Very appealing picture. The framing is great, marvelous idea here ! We are in the ferry with you Mustafa :)

PS
I wish you took 2 pics, this one (with sharp passengers) and another (with sharp wooden window sorrounding) and then merge tthem)
