Thank you!

Gustav;

That's good to know! Marmaris is lovely. And I hope someday we can see how your selective photography would be of parts that you visit again in the future...Looking forward to that possibility.

Winston;

You're right, I should do some fixing about the distractions on the lower part of the image. I didn't wish to debalance the proportions of the frame then and there's no post processing as cloning or anything because I wanted you to see it as untouched as possible.

Leaving home at the working hours of day is not so hard but persuading myself that I really shoud go to sleep at night hours for edequate sleep is a problem. I find too much to do...and too little time. (And I can partially work from home as I have two computers and a good ADSL connection )

Thanks,
Yildiz

that is a superb pic, so calm , it shows that no matter how big or busy the city, there is always a time when it sleeps , youve caught it having a nap,

well done

Thank you Gio67,

I'm so greatful for these hours when the city is napping...Seeing how some constructors attempting to build ugly buildings that only disglorify Istanbul's natural beauty at daylight hours, the blanket of darkness serves as a bliss for the city.

Greed is an epidemic with (de)construction people..be it the engineer or the layman, believe me! The things I have to live with are unimaginable....wish I didn't have to. I personally think they should be exiled for disgraceful service to the country as a whole.

I'm late on this one, but it's a very nice picture. Though have to admit that I second Winston on the crop issue.

Thank you Dr. Harout.

I dutifully noted the distractions and will be more careful in the future... Wiinston is a photo-magic wizard and I noted it down.
