semrich Posted July 27, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, there are people in it, but it was more about this dog sleeping in the park at the base of the Galata Tower. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglouis Posted July 27, 2006 Share #3 Posted July 27, 2006 Very amusing but also a great shot. Very well observed. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddh Posted July 27, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 27, 2006 Hilarious scene hiding a very good composition. If the original allows, I would crop a little wider on both sides, especially to separate the two men in the back from the frame. This would strengten the main triangle. Just my 2,269 CAN cents. Like it much. Thanks for showing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
semrich Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted July 27, 2006 Brent, Louis, Glad you could see the humor in this, it was even funnier to come upon it when walking into the park. My stopping to take pictures seemed to call attention to it, as if no one had noticed it before I did, or the dog is a regular there and always sleeps like that. Daniel, I would also have liked to have more room in the frame, the two guys at the top corner are amused by the dog, while the rest of the people aren't looking. Unfortunately haven't gotten enough experience with this new lens and the frame lines of the R-D1. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

semrich Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted July 28, 2006 Robert, Good eye, yes it is another dog under the bench. There are a lot of street dogs in Istanbul all of whom seem very calm and peaceful, content to just lay somewhere in the sun during the day and sleep. It is funny that the place they choose can be the most unlikely spots, like the middle of a busy square. They will just lay there sleeping like a rock is a stream of a crowd of people passing by being diverted by their presence. William, Thanks for taking time to comment.
