[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo (I think it is the Blue Mosque but I am not quite sure about that) is taken as we was approaching Istanbul harbor the sight was spectacular where ever we turned our eyes. We passed several motives all deserve to be photographed; it was as I already in an earlier photo have told you impossible, because one could not decide what direction should be chosen. The Norwegian Jewel was as mentioned earlier, a big vessel so you couldn’t solve the problem only by turning around.
It was our first visit in Istanbul, but it will not be the last time, there is so many things to discover, and so many nice people here, that we gladly go there again.
Here is another off the results after doing a little PP work, sharpened, contrast adjustment, framed and resized.
Hope you like my choice.

Good morning my friend

What a delightful view, lovely scenic capture here and presentation is superb. One thing I love about TL is that I get to see such beautiful images of places I will probably not have the chance to visit myself. thank you for showing me this lovely building.

TFS regards Helen

Of course the picture is impressive, but I especially love your frame work on this one (can't help it - love to frame).

Very good morning, Jens.
Fantastic looking picture of indeed the 'Blue Mosque'.
Funny, see the 'Christians Cross' in the scaffolding, at the background.
It all comes together. haha
Have a nice day,
Jan

The shot was perfect. You manage to capture architectural details of this Mosque. Very impressive work

Hi Jens,
beautiful image of blue mosque.. (sultan ahmet)
well done

Hi Jens. Just enough PP work to bring out the colour and details, anymore would have been too much. Well composed and nicely presented. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Along the Zigzag I’

Yes, this is the Blue Mosque, the biggest mosque in Istanbul and probably in the whole world. I saw it first time in 1968, and I am still impressed, each time I visit this very special city.
A beautiful photo, and you also have succeeded to put the whole mosque into a little digital camera. Well done!
