[Art] Photography in Turkey
Taken with Canon Rebel T2i with a 18-55mm lens. This was some months ago, but couldn't upload them before now because I didn't have any RAW image converter before now.

2nd, it has a not very good lighting and I think the camera position is a bit too right, try to move a bit to the left.
4th, uhhh. If this is zoomed, I think you zoomed too much and make the object a bit hard to define. What is that actually? A flower right?
So overall, 8/10

Nice place to have a vacation. Here are some comments
1. I like how u took the shoot so that the shore is in diagonal, makes things more interesting.
Some things I think could have been better:
White balance seems a bit off in this one,. hard adjusting it in sunset I know - try experimenting in your RAW converter
Sky is overblown, if u made it -2/3 or even a whole stop down u would have retained the nice purple sky highlights. Tho this maybe just me, coz I usually shot with -2/3, I probably like the darker mood.
2. Sky is blue and leaves are green. Lacking a bit in the composition at least for me. At least some clouds would have been nice if not for the semi naked girl bathing in the light on the terrace
3. cool sky, horizon line is a bit off, but I like it. Was this shoot in 18mm? really noticeable barrel distortion - which is ok , but not when the horizon line is distorted in a concave way (maybe me again - but convex is perfectly fine?), unless u are going for that (which I doubt, since if u were than u wouldn't have positioned yourself behind the Baywatch tower). U can fix the distortion in just about any raw converter there is - that said Lightroom ftw - pick your lens from the drop down many and fixes distortions and chroma aberrations for it)
4. don't know what it is but I like it
5. nice, but I think it would have been better if u positioned yourself in front of the snail, or at least less sideways, so that his house (not in focus) was behind his head. I just think it would be more appealing than having a closer out of focus object (or in this case part of object)
6. Cool, maybe if the background was more contrasty to the subject...
I expected to see Turks in pics from Turkey
keep up the good work

Wow thanks, I appreciate the input. I can see what I can do in the raw converter with the first one. The angle in the first one was caused because I was trying to get the sun out of the camera and in the same time not capture the darkness to the left. I though the reflection line from the mountains in the water would create an interesting background rather than just flat boring water, but when you mention it, it looks fairly diagonal.
