Photographer's Note
The district of Fener, where i took this photo last Sunday, is one of the most ancient in Istanbul, known to the Byzantines as Fanarion and to the Ottoman Greeks as Fanaraki. The Jews were settled after their expulsion from Spain, enlarging a community which had lived here since Byzantine times. In the 19th century it was famous for its masonry houses with richly decorated interiors in Turkish style and for its taverns.
The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate moved to its new site in the district of Fener in 1601, and from this time on wealthy Greek families began to settle in Fener. In the 19th century, however, they moved to new homes in Beyoglu on the other side of the Golden Horn, and Fener went into decline. Today it is a dilapidated but quaint area of steep cobbled streets and old stone houses with bay windows, where it is a pleasure to wander around, getting lost and discovering the many historic buildings here.

Great picture, vivid colors, and beautiful composition. The way that you've captured this the street takes on a magical and surreal quality that I really like.
Thanks for sharing,

This is one of the more enlightening photos I've seen of Istanbul, which I have not yet visited. But I do enjoy seeing more than the well-known monuments, as I feel I come to know a place better by seeing the everyday places.
I like the shot - particularly because by leaving out the sky, you create a closed in feeling, which communicates the quiet of this side street. The parts you did leave, with the height of buildings, versus the small size of the boys clearly communicates the scale. And with this being a street that comes to an end, the scene is properly "closed". It has a beginning and an end and so completes the scene.

Superb photo Deniz, like a theatre scene.
The colors are amazing.
Perfect weighing of volumes in the frame gives the right balance to your picture.
I like the close shot you made only with the buildings.
Very good touch the two children, gives life to the photo.
Very impressive photo Deniz.

Fotoğrafa bakınca ilk başta müthiş canlı renkleri göze çarpıyor ve binaların duvarlarının düz oluşu, bakış açınla birleşince müthiş perspektif yaratıyor. Kompozisyonu çok beğendim. Küçük çocukların boyları binaların boylarını çok güzel oranlamamıza yarıyor. Ellerine sağlık.
İyi hafta sonları dilerim,

You combine here well a very colorful neighbourhood and a daily life scene of playing kids, I like it, but I'd expect some better quality (especially sharpness) from a 400D image, maybe something went wrong during PP ?
