Hi Recep,
Strange when the moon is that red, I guess the air is pretty dirty here, or at least there's lots of dust or something like that in the atmosphere. I like how the zoom makes the moon look so large and I also like all the houses with the little windows. Everything in this picture is a bit tilted. A slight CCW rotation would help.

The moon is fantastic and the building with the different colors create a nice frame!

brazilwood (66) 2005-05-31 14:56

Wow, what a beautiful red moon lit evening. Amazing colors. Forgive my ignorance, but it is interesting to see that Turkey has what seems to be nice buildings for living. I realize that I am seeing from a distance, but they look somewhat new. I had a different picture in my mind about Turkey... more desertish and less technology. I know this is sad, but I now have a different picture about Turkey. Thanks for sharing.

Wow - so big and red. You have your exposure spot on to reveal all the detail. Great shot.

mjparker (42) 2005-05-31 15:36

Excellent exposure in the evening. Like others said, a slight CCW rotation to level the horizon would make this photo perfect.

tars (882) 2005-05-31 15:56

A wondrously beautiful and sharp night picture, with a splendide big red moon on a blue sky.
Well seen and done for me...... Tars

Degerlı meslektasım,Gayet guzel bir gece fotografi. Alttaki karanlik bolgeyi keserseniz ve hafif sola yatirirsaniz daha iyi olabilir. Sevgilerimle.

The colour of the moon is just incredible, that is why with a lot of other members i should say this is an amazing shot.

wowow, Recep, great capture of the full moon, so red, above these houses, really a beautiful moon. The lights in the houses are nice as well, I like it that it's not pitch dark yet.

jinju (14265) 2005-05-31 19:37

Great color moon! So red. Ive never seen a moon THIS red, though I have seen red moons. The foreground is nice, but the moon really catches the eye.

Drom (1205) 2005-06-01 1:43

The moon is splendid.
Extraordinary colors I adore
Bravo

kingdragon (445) 2005-06-01 3:27

Nasıl bir kırmızıdır bu aydak ???
Photoshop varmı merak ettim.
Nedense bizim evler tepede olmadığı için heralde benim bu şekilde bir kare yakalama şansım hiç olmıyacak :))
Ellerine sağlık
Kadrajda ay biraz daha sol üst köşeye oturtulabilir
Direkt kartpostal fotoğrafı olur o zaman

HI, what a wonderfull scene. Your photo looks nearly unreal, However I know that it is possible to see moon that big time to time. very well captured. L.

rmadhusudan (44) 2005-06-01 9:12

Awesome. Love the color of the moon! Brilliant color combinations and excellent background!

keribar (43841) 2005-06-01 13:39

Merhaba Recep,

Bayıldım by fotografa: Dolunay zaten olağanüstü ama bence ev dokusu da muhteşem olmuş. Belki alttan az birsey keserdim.

Extraordinary picture, the red moon is fantastic, but so are the buildings. I am think whether some cropping at the bottom would be necessary.. Best - Izzet Keribar

abozdemir (406) 2005-06-02 1:16

Merhaba Recep Bey;

Çok başarılı ve güzel kompozisyon oluşturmuşsunuz. Tebrik ediyorum.Başarılarınızın devamını diliyorum.

nerve (10231) 2005-06-02 4:42

Selam Recep,
cok güzel bir calisma bu..Ay muhtesem olmus burda. Tam ideal zaman bu çekim için bence(türkçem bazen duruveriyor kafamda, bu günes battiktan sonraki gündüz ile gece arasındaki belirsiz 45 dakika -1 saat arasi sihirsel zamana ingilizce "twilight zone" deniyor, türkçesi nedir bilemiyorum acikçasi, -günbatımı değil-)
Herneyse, cok nefis olmus (çerçeve benim zevkim degil bildiğin gibi)

Izzet beyin ve senin WS'deki crop (kesme) fikrin bana uymuyor, genelde ben pek hazetmem bu tur gün batimi görüntülerden fakat burda beni en çok çeken, görüntünün çok dogal olmasi ve özellikle alltaki otobüs.. millet belki gülebilir ama benim için bu resimdeki en önemli unsur ay degil, otobüs.. onun için kesmeye kesinlikle karsiyim ben.(üstten olabilir belki ama alttan degil bence) Bu haliyle çok daha iyi.. belki dedikleri gibi ay biraz daha sola kayd1rilabilirdi ama bu da pek önemli degil.. Belki ikiye bölen elektrik hatları yokedilebilir Photoshopta..(yani kabaca şöyle bir şey WS'de)
tebrikler, en iyi dilekler.

Signal-Womb (13048) 2005-06-02 14:44

Amazing capture Recap, Iv always wanted to capture one like this. Your timing and exposure are correct. This is very good indeed.

KevRyan (22956) 2005-06-08 3:22

I'nm not sure how I missed this one Recep - it's just fantastic - a great exposure - I agree it does need a slight tilt adjustment but I have to admire the fantastic colour, lightng and composition.

I really like Evren's edit - I would have done soemthing very similar - I do think there is too much sky above the moon and I would have been tempted to the point of having to do it to remove the lines - I might have kept a bit more of the width - maybe not.

Very beautiful!

bw Kev

AmiBe (6042) 2005-06-08 17:17

Hi Recep,
incredible picture, the color of the moon is very nice, contrasting well with the dark blue sky.
With the long focal, the moon seems very big.
Excellent exposure, and I agree for the tilt adjust.
Very well done

coco (30439) 2005-06-19 7:09

Great composition and a fantastic final result.
Well done.

Vitoenworld (95) 2005-06-20 4:20

Even if it is too dark down, this moon star is like the god of these twins buildings.
Iyi gunler.

dsidwell (9783) 2005-06-25 12:59

A very nice moon, Recep! The composition here is just wonderful; the moon is in a very strong position in the frame. Nice exposure retains details of the moon. Very exciting!

gezgin37 (3788) 2005-06-28 8:19

WOW Recep,
This is a beautiful shot. The wonderfully red moon contrasts so beautifully with the sky. The buildings that is in the foreground with its small lighted windows adds to the harmony of the picture.
Great shot

absolutly fabulous shoot.in France there is a legend who's saying than when the moon is red like in your shoot,it is thevery night to kill witches, because they don't have any more power.

I never thought moon rise could look so pretty in an urban landscape but you have accomplished it very well

rabani (9645) 2005-10-17 22:28

Captivating night scene Recep. The red moon rising on a dark blue nigh sky, sitting behind a rise of building. A lovely night shot Recep.

partha (14023) 2005-10-20 15:16

It's almost a perfect shot. The pic seems to be little soft. It may avoid by increasing speed and reducing aperture.

midyat (2545) 2005-10-22 19:25

an incidible photo. I would prefer you delete the electric cable...

Jeppe (18654) 2005-10-30 7:46

Wow - what a shot - A rare photo with the moon together with urban houses - I like the fine details of the moon together with dimmed light - congratulation Recep with the fine result and thanks for sharing.

Mansi (543) 2005-10-31 8:25

absolutely splendid shot! a WOW exposure.. neat comp :)
thanks for sharing

banyanman (7797) 2005-11-02 8:38

Hi Recep. I thought I had critiqued this before, but obviously not, so I will do so today as I see you are on your way to a 100 points for this composition - a great achievement and well deserved. This is a fabulous photograph, but you should have rotated it about one degree CCW, as it is noticeably tilted, and also tried to clone out the wires at the top. The latter should be quite easy to do because there is not much variation in the colour of the sky. Cheers . . . David

Sorry, just noticed all that has been done in the workshop. I didn't like the blurring of the moon's edges in the third workshop though - I prefer your original for that.

JonKilimnik (0) 2005-11-02 21:09

Love that moon....so stunning.
Right place right time...and the light was just right on the buildings
Nice one!
Jon

jrleborgne (1554) 2005-11-10 9:42

Grande poésie. La lune telle un funambule qui rebondit sur le cable électrique suspendu que l'on discerne dans l'obscurité et qui traverse le plan.
La couleur de l'astre sélène est étonnante !

beyaz_toprak (355) 2005-11-16 2:57

Fotoğrafa orta okul yıllarında başladım. İzlediğim fotolardaki bu tür kompozisyonalr hep etkiledi beni. Ay nasıl bu kadar büyük oluyor ben çekince hep küçük kalıyor derdim.. Ama işin nasıl olduğunu öğrenince bu tabiki anılarda kaldı..
Güzel bir foto tebrikler

Thanks for a great pleasure viewing this.

Hi Recep,
Superb picture!
This is my favorite subject. Moon is amazing but a little bit
unnatural. I never saw it in red. But I like it very much.
Nice contrast with darkly blue sky. Light from the houses is nice decoration of the picture.
Well done

what a strange color of the moon. It's a very special picture and deserves the critique you already had for it. The picture is nice and clean.

Hi Recep
I`ve tried to do a similar photo of the Moon, but I`ve failed because of a smog over the town. Your image is great. Clear buildings and rising red Moon. I like it.

but why did you get red colour of the moon ?

this is a lovely photo. i think it would be nice if it was cropped some...to frame the moon/lights of the houses...but you definitely did a fabulous job with this one!

I have found this shot in Your gallery and I must say that I'm enchanted with the whole atmosphere here. It reminds me for a hot turkish nights. Well done. regards. maki

alecsa (39) 2006-04-17 3:44

A very nice photo. Beautiful colours, nice composition. The tilting of the buildings make it look really natural. I like it. I don't think the air was dusty or something, I have seen a similar "moonrise" at the shore of the black sea and I was impressed. Many time the rising of the moon gives a more spectacular view then the rising of the sun.
Well done,
Alexandra
