Buyukcekmece lake.
No pleasure can compare with that of entering a city for the first time, particularly when you have heard much told about it; or leaving a city behind on a journey to new places. For travellers from the Balkans and the distant countries of Europe making their way to Istanbul for the first time, the last stop before entering the city was Büyükçekmece. This lake, separated from the Marmara Sea only by a narrow strip of land, was also the first stop of travellers and Ottoman armies heading westwards. Here the great 16th century Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan built the Büyükçekmece mosque complex, which reflects his genius in its full splendour.
According to the 17th-century traveller Evliya Çelebi, Büyükçekmece was part of the judicial district of Eyüp on the Golden Horn. In Byzantine times the town was known as Atira or Atirus, and served as a halting place for travellers and armies, as it continued to do in Ottoman times. Evliya Çelebi writes that the lake was famous for plaice and eels, which were caught in the famous net fishery here.

merhaba dear Gürkan
another version of your backlight work than the one on TE, still interesting tones and silhouettes, to make the comparaison i'd say i prefer the one with the isolated couple, it's a very good idea of POV with the sunlightened lake behind the silhouettes, well done

Hello Gurkan,
Beautiful atmosphere is captured!
For some reason I associate this mood with a cold beer in a relaxed position...
The reflection off the water is very well recorded, image has a fine composition and a good feeling of depth!
