About Two years ago I have posted a shot titled Viewing a dead end,
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1444557.html
one of its comments upon awarded by featured critique,that critique asks for the whole woman should appear in the frame.So the next year I have traveled to the same place Istanbul and corrected what is wrong.

He,Nick now asked for an other column to appear next to the woman,with a lighter scarf of the woman's head.
So ,I go a third time to the same place Istanbul and done what he asks in his critique.and here is the third version of the same shot.

I think it is the first time in this fine site history that this story happens upon the critique of one of its fine members .

Very interesting ..
This is the best of all .. it seems that improved
Great view and photo worthy of prize.


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:126692} 8/1/2009
Great work, and now I would really suggest this to the photo-department of any illustrated magazine about tourism, or about architecture, culture, any kind of publication that deals with the special character of the place!

The details are all lovely and the the great difference of luminace between the roof and the floor add a string tension without distoring the subject. Special bonus: the great way you preserved the gradients on the woman, which in turn enhance the feel of plasticity. She stands out excellently. I know that several people would suggest a higher contrast between the contour of her covered head and the background wall, but in this case the raising of light in her area adds a subtle kind of "importance", or if you wish a compliment for her.

The perspective is clear and absorbing, the balance of composition makes it have all it needs and nothing more. So... nothing to change for me.

Do you see what I mean, Saad? You unleashed your latent talent by study and work! It took three times perhaps, but it was worth doing. Here the talent became skill, real existing skill of a master! Hat off to master Saad!

Dear Saad .

اخوك يزيد


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:126692} 8/1/2009
And BTW, I think that this one will be elected for some award in UF some day. It is much too much too good for not being noticed by the crew of the site!

Cheers!

Nick

Hi Saad!
I've seen all three versions, and this third version is better.
You've had a lot of patience, my dear!:)
all the best,
Malules


Kes     {K:19764} 8/1/2009
Hi Saad, super ...everything here. Wow, what a lot of work to make someone else happy. ;)

One thing, I think the whole shot is a bit crooked...

I'M JUST KIDDING!!!!:) :)

It's a fine shot. Great work ethic too!


Avi     {K:67635} 8/2/2009
Good shot Saad, but now I feel that the purple dress of the woman gets too much attention that is not necessary for the shot... go back and re-shoot it for the fourth time please !!!...

ok, ok.. I was kidding..

We all should learn DEDICATION from you !!
sincerely,
Avi

stingRay part 2 .   {K:239146} 8/2/2009
The first two you posted whilst I was on a long break away from UF. I must say that I like the original two very much but I also have to say that this latest version is superior to the first two. I love the perspective of this shot, the placement of the woman closer to the wall, the tones overall are perfect and I love the diagonal lines. Well done to you Saad my dear friend. I am pleased to note that third time lucky satisfied Nick. My very best wishes to you as always......Ray


Paolo Corradini   {K:58258} 8/2/2009

excellent. i admire your dedication


Gary Hill   {K:53446} 8/2/2009
What a project, what a great idea, you should go back every year and photograph a woman at this spot and turn it into a collage
Regards, Gary


ambenis      {K:10097} 8/2/2009
Great work, congratulations !!!


Ania Zielinska   {K:22781} 8/3/2009
I think this one is the best, at least for me ;)
Great perspective, very nice light with small shadow just on the left, and she looks great here, wearing the clothes in vivid colors.

Best wishes,
Ania


Luca Peccerillo   {K:15873} 8/4/2009
Ohhhh....excellent!!!
Really one of your best!
Be well


Wayne Harridge   {K:13924} 8/4/2009
Definitely worth the effort.

I have a few suggestions though, when are you going back to Istanbul again ?

...Wayne


Nick Lagos   {K:1337} 8/5/2009
Perfect composition Saad...big congrats

take care

Krisnendu Sar   {K:450} 8/5/2009
Hats off to your dedication. What an outcome too !!!


Marana Pascovici   {K:1133} 8/6/2009
I admire your tenacity !
I like here the distortion effect caused by the two interest points : the woman and the virtual point of intersection for the construction lines. Because those points ar placed on the sides, it almost looks like the floor line that connects those points is curve. (Or maybe my eyes are tired?)
Anyway, beautiful photo, and, in my opinion, the best version.
Best regards, Marana.


david henderson   {K:15117} 8/8/2009
.....this is an interesting composition, there is an air of expectation that makes it enjoyable, quite apart from the pleasing lights and colors of the building, it is a labor of love Saad, and the girl has waited all that time for you to return! cheers, david.


Joćo Tavares   {K:41238} 8/23/2009
My favorite this one i love it.
weel done Saad.

my regards,
Saad.
