Hello Burak,
The doorway makes a good frame for the old locomotive. The people enliven the scene. Fine technical realisation.

Hi Burak,

The station may be closed, but there's a good sense of activity, albeit minimal, in this scene. I like how you've framed this shot from a distance, giving us that feeling of being inside while leaving the anticipation of the exterior in regard. The stained glass design above the door makes for an attractive and colorful addition to the scene, and that human presence in silhouette form in the foreground is just the right touch. Enjoy the rest of the day. Take care.

Friendly wishes,

Jason

You added much mystery to the story with the POV chosen, Burak. Looks as the old lokomotive not going anywhere - it is a monumental display for the old time's glory.
Nicely included the painted glass window above the high lintel.
Good evening,
Ike

Hello Burak,
nice the view of this section of Haydarpasa station with the part of the train to be in our days rather a decorated element of it.The sitting couple tell us that a coffee shop is near it.

Regards,Danos

Hi Burak,
Sad to hear a place do important is now closed, but the train and pele outside still breathe some nice life into the view. Somehow though, the open door and light falling into what seems a dark interior does speak of this place no longer being a hub of activity. Nice way to capture the mood.
Best wishes
Noel

interesting this vertical compo. I liked the way you show us details of the building and the people. maybe if you had waited a little more the personage would move to the center creating a better silhouette in the center of the gate. anyway a beautiful job.

hugs

Good use of the door to frame this old time train. Nicely captured with good lighting and nice details. Nice to have the person for scale. Well done, tfs.
