Hej Gert,
De två båtarna bildar, tillsammans med människan (människorna?) på stranden, en perfekt triangel som dessutom är mycket välplacerad i kompositionen. Även den diagonala linje, som strandkanten utgör, är en bra detalj i bilden. Snygga blågröna färger.
Hälsningar
Gunnar

Hello Gert,
The summer capital of the country? You took this picture at the end of May. I visited Georgia in the middle of summer but I didn't go to Batumi. Your picture shows exactly how other travellers I met in Georgia described the Black Sea Coast in summertime. At that time I also remembered the dark days that once I had spent in eastern Turkey at the Black Sea coast. For certain reasons it seems that only the western coasts of the Black Sea (in Romania, Bulgaria, ...) offer the beautiful bright summer weather. Understandable that the guy on the picture looks desperate with his head hiding in his hands.
Of course you still have the modern architecture in Batumi, a merit the city certainly has and which we can see in the workshop. Malgo has also posted some pictures of it.
Best regards, Paul

Hello dear Gert,
Nice capture from Batumi taken with perfect pov and layout.
It's very close to mainland of Anatolia, and I know that many young turkish citizens are visiting the University in Batumi, specially for agriculture.
TFS and best regards

This is a photo to think, I am so tiny and the world is endless :)
Very nice minimalist shot with very good composition and nice combination of delicate colors

Hello Gert,

Again you have given us a very interesting and informative note and also a fine trio of photographs to accompany it.

I can quite understand why you didn't find this place particularly attractive - and that same sentiment seems to be shared by the fellow in your main picture, sitting with his head cradled in his hands, perhaps wondering if he should throw himself into the sea! He does, however, have a companion who might help him to change his mind about that.

And even the buildings in your two workshop pictures don't look terribly attractive either. But perhaps the dull weather and that strange greenish haze didn't show them to best advantage.

Anyway, three very interesting photographs, each taken with natural colours, perfect exposure and excellent details and sharpness.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.

It maybe a hazy day but the image so calm and very soothing, nothing to think about. I could sit on this beach all day and enjoy the solitude. Good pov and dof with nice details. Well done, tfs.

Hi Gert
The haze looks really strange indeed. I've never seen this kind of green hue just hanging in the air. The man on the beach (and probably the one behind him too but I can only guess) looks very bored. An alternative title for this image could be: "waiting for the sun". ;)
I'm amazed at the modern architecture you present in WS.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Gert,
little wonder that there are so few people sitting on the rocky beach on such a hazy day,I guess that they are still enjoying the luxurious facilities of the fantastic new hotels.
More images to savour..
Warm regards Les.

Hi Gert
interesting building in the WS photo, and i don't mean bigger one, i mean the tall super skinny building.
is it just me or does it look TOO skinny. Its only 3 apartment windows wide! and so tall...like it can fall over in a wind storm. take a look at it again and see what i mean. Looks like a pencil lol

I agree with you about the beach...these pebble beaches are aweful. Not exactly the beach you want to lay a towel onto and take a nap haha

the photo has a gloomy mood to it, especially with the guy burying his head into his hands.
interesting shot
cheers

Hi Gert
Very well exposed beach scape, and not the best light and colours given the cicurmtamces but there's enough detail and strong points in making this simple shot work. They bring it to life and into focus. Great work, TFS
Best regards

Ciao Gert, lovely composition with sitting couple and ships, great sea view, splendid light and wonderful colors, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Hallo Gert!
Lovely, beautiful and attractive picture, with special regards to the soft colors, exposure, chosen pov and composition!
TFS - congrats,
Cheers,

Hello Gert,

I like the composition very much with the man in contemplation, with the backdrop of the Black Sea. Exactly 100 years ago, when my grandmother and grandfather first got married, my grandfather, a physician, was posted in Batumi (Turkish Batum). My oldest uncle was born there the following year, and by the end of WWI they moved back to Istanbul. I've never seen photos of the area before.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Gert

He seems lonely though there is someone with him, and absolutly devastated with his head in his hands.

Hello Gert.
A beautiful composition, which highlights these three bands, which form the pebble beach, the sea a little shady and sky, the two ships add charm to the image, like that person who seems lost in thought, da a vital touch to it.
Nice color, in these natural tones.
Also, both sharpness and lighting are great.
Well taken photo. I like
Enjoy a good day.
Best wishes.
Luis.

mirosu (16313) 2015-02-09 2:54

Hi Gert,
Very nice, well arranged photo. Nice combination of the lonely man on the beach and the large cargo ships in background. The hazy atmosphere adds nice toning to the scene.
Very well done.
Greetings,
MIRO
.
p.s. I red your comments to my Putrajaya photo (thank you very much). My photo may be misleading. Putrajaya is a very nice place to live, they have lot of water around, beautiful wetlands and excellent residential areas with superb bungalows. Close distance to Airport and not so far from Kuala Lumpur and only 3 hours drive to Singapore. They do not have any power overhead lines there and Hi Fi internet is normal standard.

Burak

ps: once again you ll come to Urfa again , maybe a I ll joined the part of your trip. :-)

Curious_Eye (1320) 2015-03-07 3:50

Hello Gert,

This scene is quietly captivating. The colours are well defined and each layer brings a different quality of texture. Each layer also has its own point of interest with its own mystery. As we move further into the distance those features become more and more hazy. In this way we just keep going deeper and deeper into the mood. Wow.

With best wishes,
Izabela

jmdias (115342) 2015-10-21 15:59

gert

curiously the other people is so hidden behind the man that is difficult to see them there, looks like only a people in the scenery. nice mood with the big boats and this grey mood.

hugs

Gert, the weather creates a milky atmosphere that day. A group is relaxing and chatting on that peeble stone beach. Some ships appear on the horizon. Fine colors, good sharpness, interesting photo note, regards.
