Kozluca Ruins, a photo from Kars, East Anatolia

Photographer's Note

A view looking uphill taken onsite at the Bagnair Monastery ruins at Kozluca. After 1,000 years of weathering, it now looks like a modern art project. I might load a workshop taken downhill looking back towards the town.

Hello Chris,
You used this ancient "monument" for two amusing composition. The minaret in the WS looks nicer than these plain huts, but the light is better in the main photo.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Chris,
A nice idea with the WS and minaret between the two columns, an imaginary faces I can see upon.
The main picture has better light ands contrast from the green slope.
Good evening,
Ike

Bonjour Chris,

Les ruines font un cadrage naturel des maisons. La prise de vue permet de voir les dйtails des ruines de Kozluca. La qualitй de lumiиre embellit les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journйe.

Hello Chris,

Both towers remain as ruin nice stand, a little bit in a curve
Pleasant natural image too.
Composition and presentation are successful.
Very well done, TFS.

Hello Chris,
Difficult to decide which one is the best main picture.
Your first choice has the most beautiful and brightest colours.
But the minaret is a great subject to be framed by the remaining walls of the ancient monastery.
Well observed and executed.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Chris,
The photo of these two parts of the ruins look fantastic and very sharp. They stand out so well in the bright sunlight and against the perfectly blue sky. The colour contrast with the gentle green slopes is pleasant as well.

HI Chris
A strange ruin well taken and the WS has a great view though to the minaret (but not much detail in the ruin).
cheers
Ian

Hello Chris,

I really like what you have done here, using the ruins as a means of creating a 'spyhole'. (I hope I would have seen this possibility!)
The details are so crisp and the colours bright and true!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Interesantan i lep pogled, dobar tekst ...
Lepa rusevina i zelena pozadina, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i perspektivom.
Dobar rad sa lepom fotografijom u radionici.

Zelim vam sve najbolje u novoj nedelji koja je pocela.

yes, in fact they looks like a sculpture in modern style. I liked the special contrast with the sky and the landscape. here we can imagine how things swapped in this area in 1000 years.

take care

Hello Chris,
Great idea, framing other buildings through these ruins. I like the WS photo slightly better.
