I like it. Tlhe composition is superb, in crescendo from the street to the mosque. Well done.

A fine shot with the composition, low sunlight, the colors, clarity and action.

Another member just pointed out I mixed this up, I had the Galata Bridge on the other side, when I took this image, the mosque in front is Rüstem Paşa Camii by Sinan, 1561-63. The mosque in the back is the Süleymaniye Camii, also by Sinan 1550-57.

 

Thank you for your kind words, myshkine and Paul, your comments are very much appreciated.

Stefan,

 

Thanks for the correction! This is wonderful; you've included the hustle and the bustle of that hour, so the overall mood is perfectly captured.
