Hello Roger,
Good contrast here between the ultra-modern tram and the ancient mosque in the background. I like the curving perspective accentuated by the tram itself and the line of bollards. Good sharpness.

Bonsoir Roger,
Un point de vue intéressant avec le tram moderne, en opposition avec l'architecture de St.Sophie.
Bonne soirée

Hio Roger, Modern tram so close to Hagia Sophia! I would prefer to see Hagia Sophia without these cables and poles. nice photo with many curved lines.

Bonsoir Roger,

La courbe du tramway est un atout à la composition. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de l'ancienne Basilique Sainte-Sophie convertie en une mosquée. Le ciel nuageux donne un bon contraste aux couleurs. Bonne soirée.

Hi Roger,
Good TE shot, it tells me a lot about this ancient/modern city.
Composition is good, the tram contrasting against the Hagia Sophia makes your point of the shot visually.

Bonjour Roger,
J'éprouve une certaine satisfaction d'apprendre que cette ancienne basilique chrétienne du VIème siècle, n'est plus un lieu de culte, et est d'un usage plus neutre, et culturel.
Le cadrage du tram est excellent, dans un contexte captivant. Bravo.
Bonne journée
Amicalement

Hi Roger

Your train proves we have not been in Istanbul for more then 20 years! Thanks for sharing that I'm a bit more updated about the mass transit system they now have in Istanbul. This train looks very modern but it fits into the city. It also sets a nice contrast as you did not have a very good weather - no need for sunshine or blue sky with this train, isn't it? Sharpness and color hues are fine, well done

Best regards
Urs
