Photographer's Note
Poor fishermen. One boat is waiting permission for ice/supply and their friend in blue boat translating the conversation to the management.
Lonely fisherman on blue boat was enjoying his free Sunday while drinking and listening radio on one hand. His friends already left for visiting the town. As you can imagine the reason is same every where: Girlfriends are waiting for them.
Converted from RAW only.
Many cheers you to all,

One of the greatest lines of dialogue in cinema history to title this photo, and indeed the distance betweeen the two boats and the position and gesture of the man on the right gives this sensation. Wonderful colors.

Quite central. The horizon line in the center, the red/white boat in the center of the image - breaking the rule of thirds. I really like it. I think the clouds are the elements that really make this composition work. The clouds are leading the eye to the red/white boat, which can work as the point of interest in the image, while the blue boat acts as a nice foreground. Great shot!

Beautiful sky and calm water, Ertugrul.
A bit weird composition, but I like the way the blue boat
is shown in the FG and can't believe its size (thanks to
that guy stabding in it, giving us sense of scale).
Thanks for the note that explains what's going on in the
frame itself,
Robi

Merhaba Ertugrul,
Le ciel confère une impression de grand espace, la ligne d'horizon crée par la végétation tranche bien avec les eaux brunes du fleuve, et le bateau bleu forme un beau triangle avec cette ligne.

I like the spontaneous expression, and the tropical sky is pretty as usual, the centred horizon works in this case, but if I had to be picky maybe if the other boat was a litlle more off centre....

Merhaba Ertugrul,
Stunning compo as usual! Superb clarity and colours, an overwhelming sense of space, using the water, the sky and the spatial disposition of the boats. And full of life also!
I like how you break the "rules" here, by putting the horizon almost at the middle and the red boat on the absolute centre. Even the clouds are centred! I guess that the "inclined" boat on the FG is what "allows" all of that not damaging the compo.
Selamlar, José.

Hello Ertugrul. This is wonderful with the boat placed at the foreground. The approaching boat is in well positioned spot and the sky with that puffy white cloud is always so stunning. Regards. Jusni

Exactly or the water have an sand colour, but this gives a very nice image.
The river edge in background care for a very nice line, with the nice light cloudy sky.
Distance betweeen the two boats and the position and gesture of the man on the right gives this sensation a actual image.
Thanks for sharing.
Best Easter weekend,

You have a great eye for framiong with the triangle created by the blue boat and the breakwater and the triangler of the red and white boat intersecting the anglgle. I also like the line between the translator and the approaching boat. Above all is another splendid sky. I may ahve to visit your countery just for the skies. The note and title are great too.

You have sense of framing: these two boats coloured and typical directed perpendicularly, this fine horizon, this superb sky, the color of water, all contributes to make a superb image. Very good work.

Merhaba my friend Ertugrul,
A good setting to catch this scene with very much balance of the elements, and a great dynamism for the presence of the boats and the fishermen.
The light and the colors of the sky and of the river are fantastic, have a great graphical strength and are very attractive at sight.
And what more attracts me always in your photos is the impressive beauty of the sky with the clouds.
Excellent work.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Hello Ertugrul,
Hahaha, busy with swing in my hammock. I like that little note in your profile.
I knew that the title was Robert de Niro in Taxi Driver. But I did not know how famous this quote was. It's no. 10 in the AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes.
"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the f'ck do you think you're talking to?"
But it was not deNiro who originally made up this line. Its first appearance was in Episode 039 of The Twilight Zone titled "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room".
Greetings!
Dennis
I like how the two boats form diagonal lines in the compo.

A photo which uses very well the possibility of the wide angle lens to put the subject in its environment. It allows here to share the idea of a wide space with this large brown river and the low clouds in the sky driving the look very far to background.
The photo is dynamic and tells us a story.

Hello Ertugrul.
All your pictures have a great sky,with beautiful and perfectly sharp clouds.The shot doesn't carry out with the rule of thirds but it works very well in this way.The water looks like sand so the boats seem runed aground.The picture is colorful apart of dirty water,and I like the boats position,one in diagonal and the other one looking at blue one,and the tittle..,the tittle is from the movie "Boat-taxi driver",sure...;)
Best regards,
Sonsoles.

The sky is superb!
