Photographer's Note
Early morning in Bafa Lake, Turkiye... The lake, abounding with fish, is located in the south of the Meander plain and faces the ancient Mount Latmos (Besparmak Mountains). Originally it was a gulf in the sea blocked up by the alluvium of the Meander River. The old village of Kapikiri, located on the north-eastern shore of the lake, mingles with the ruins of Heracleia by Latmos. The ancient city was a port built by the Ionians at the bottom of the Gulf of Latmos. The island is called Kapikiri Island. During the 7th century AD, certain hermits traveled from the Sinai and built chapels and monasteries along the shores of the Bafa Lake and on its tiny islands. Lake Bafa is spread over a large area between Didim and Milas.

Very beautiful, very soft, very well composed. It must be very quiet there. Congratulations!

Merhaba Selen, I like the light here very much, it really makes the foreground stand out from the background, and composition is interesting with two rocks and two boats, complete with their reflections. I like your picture, but I've made my variant, just for fun, see WS.
Cheers
Alexander

3 gün önce oralardan geçtim ve birkaç resimde ben çektim ama hava kapalı olduğu için gerekli ışığı yakalayamamıştım.
Sen çok güzel yakalamışsın , reflection ve renkler çok iyi tebrik ederim
Başarılarının devamını dilerim
Selamlar

Hello Selen,
Nice picture taken at Bafa Lake. I have taken a new look at your pictures, and really find them attractive. Of course I can criticise all of them and say good things and details which could be arranged better. For instance we know here that the light is excellent, and it shows us the scene of the lake. But are we sure about the mountains ? How much should we include ? all of them ? none or partly ? This picture would be even better if there was light on the first boat ( Problem to wait there I know ) and get closer to the boats. In that case I think that all mountain tops would have been inside the frame .. What do you think ?
This what TE is for ...
All the best - Izzet
