•  Neutral Interesting place, but the composition could be better. I think those rocks in the foreground "don't help" to show the city. Tiago Fioreze (talk) 17:43, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

•  Question any possibility of making a pano ? --ianaré (talk) 23:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your question, Ianaré. May I please tell you a sad story about my trip to Turkey? My bran new Canon got broken, when I was photographing a glory (like this one) while we were landing in Munich on our way to Turkey. I was sooo upset that I left my unneeded now and way too heavy tripod at Munich airport. I knew that cameras in Turkey are very expansive, way too expansive for me to get one. Then in Istanbul I found a guy, who rented me his old Canon for a very reasonable price. So now I had a camera, but tripod was gone. :) You see now what an effort it was for me to take the nominated images of Turkey without a tripod and with somebody else old camera. They (my images that is) simply cannot be opposed. :) But on a serious note I have to admit that back then in 2006 I had no idea that there are programs that could stitch images together to make a pano. I learned about this here at Commons 1.5 years later. In that happy 2006 I was taking pictures, sharing them with my relatives, my friends and my co-workers, and was happy that everybody liked them. I could not imagine that my images could ever be opposed :). Oh well... :) --Mbz1 (talk) 23:51, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh no! Just yesterday I was wondering why you are shooting with a 10D (I was thinking "Syphon some of that travel-money into a more up-to-date camera!"). Sorry to hear that story. --Dschwen (talk) 01:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. It was not so bad after all.At least I got a full refund for the broken camera, when we got home.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:26, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose The place is nice, but the composition is distracting --Berru (talk) 20:22, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Very interesting place, and quality is good. Composition could be better, but it does show the town and surrounding area. --ianaré (talk) 02:44, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support interesting subject. I think the composition could be enhanced by cropping a few percent at the top to remove that sunlit region in the background. --Dschwen (talk) 15:16, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
