A NOSTALGIC SIGHT AFTER BIRD FLU, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

I don't know what to say more;as everyone knew it has been months since the first case was reported and now nearly noone gets in touch with any of that kind ;so much frightened and trying to stay away from panic.
and I am pretty sure,we will not be able to see such compositions for a long time.

Oh God! So people are affraid of pigeons? I can't believe maybe soon this will happen here too!
Great composition with the girl turned seein the birds and the man sitting, he closes the image. Sepia and blur was a good idea.

Hi Nejat...
Awesome! Nostalgic is the right word... But the context is a sad happening... Interesting composition, softness adds to the message...

nejat,
good idea of using the sepia tone.
juxtaposition of the human movement is a nice touch.

Hi Nejat, very interesting impressionistic shot - due to the sepia and the blur it has a dreamlike quality - and when we consider the bird flu it might become a nightmare.
Very well executed and strong work,
Have a nice week,
Bert

Hello Nejat:

This is so romantic, melancholic and beauty scene.
Makes you think....

Good choice my friend

Merhaba Nejat,
Ara Güler öncesi bir dönem fotoğrafı gibi sanki, yani enfes..:)) 91 çekimi olduğu için mi böyle toksa sonradan mı bu efekti oluşturdun bilemiyorum. Her halde de çok uymuş.
Ellerine sağlık...
Selamlar

Hello Nejat - very meaningful and artistic composition, the blurry aspect reflects the uncertain future progression of the disease, just today Italy and Greece reported their first cases, I hope all turns out well.

Hi Nejat
I like this composition.
The sepia tones fit just well with this atmosphere you create in this image.
Good work
