Hello Korkut,
amazing how a simple, almost geometrical composition with only a partial view of a person can say and suggest so much about the human condition and the particular district. I appreciate that you attempted a photo, despite the fact that it wasn't allowed, and at the same time treated your subject with such respect. Her hands are both eloquent and mysterious, there's a glimpse of a smile that gives an individual character to the scene. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,
Ourania

Hello Korkut
I agree with Ourania's comments. The woman's figure provides an intriguing break in the geometrical pattern of the mostly vertical lines. A subtle photo which says a lot.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Korkut

An edgy (literally) grab shot from Amsterdam. I wasn't aware that photography's not allowed in the red light district: surely if you're on the street, it's OK? You've caught just enough of her face for the image to work. But how do you know her name??

Regards

Will

Hi Korkut

You have taken some risks, I can tell you because I have done that too! This is a good summary of the street: large windows and almost naked girls waiting for the tourist!
Good B&W report, bad boy!

Sneaky shot here, Korkut. A rather different subject than your usual work, haha...but again it works. Shall I write that I love the contrast between the hard and straight lines of the house and the softer curves of the woman in the frame? Well...

Warm greetings

Benny
