Hi Evren, I see that we have posted at about the same time. This is very beautiful--I particularly like the harmonious mix of colors. The unsettled look on the face of the woman at left is telling. Perhaps you cropped the top just a bit too much--the face of the woman on the right gets a bit lost because of that. But it's a very effective image--it's clear these people have hard lives. Regards, Ken.

Hello Evren ! So beautiful these strong colors, some of them earthy, others bright as the blue in the back. Excellent way of showing the three ... although - as I read your comment - a sad story behind it. Thanks for showing. Barbara.

Hi Evren. This is really good, primarily because of how you have caught the woman on the left. You have found some excellent, directional light and a good expression too. I do find the crop on the woman on the right to be a little tight though; a little wider wouldn't have bothered me at all. Nice colors here, helped by a good exposure. nice shot.

Hi Evren
I am a landscape photographier, and I rarely have a look to portraits, but this one is so nice... Colors are fantastic.
Cheers

A group is always difficult to catch. You have a nice picture herewith three generations. I like the composition you chose and the moment. The opposition of the yellow and blus tones adds a lot. Congratulation

Hi Evren,

Very nice shot. I like the subject itself, plenty of interest, lively, dramatic. I like too the soft colors, the good background blue, and the compo, giving us a multiple and nice portrait. Congratulations. Best wishes,

Angel.

Another great one, Evren - I like the ower of your recent close portraits - they really cut through the fog so to speak. COmposition is fiendishly clever and sophisticated, including the croped woman on the right. All fits, all says: "This man KNOWS what he's oing with a camera."
Best,
-E (who doesnt;o)))

Wonderfull one, Evren, powerfull, the three glances are so different, drawing lines which build a great space feeling.
Marvelous half hidden face of the mother.
A very great image.

Evren,
A exceptional one here...The crop on the weiled women conttrasting the well lit, worn out elderly one on the left is a contrast well made & very telling.
Cheers,
Prem.

Great candid shot. The photograph gives a painting effect. The use of light and choice of background is really brilliant.
Great job.
