Hello Constantino, snow outside so the covered market sounds like the best place to be!
You made good use of the decorative railings to lead our eyes towards the colourful shops.
No-one needs that stool today.
Interesting notes.
Regards Jean.

Good evening.
Interesting view and a moment, good text ...
Beautifully shown, good contrast, beautiful colors, beautifully captured moment.
A nice place and a shop in the day with snow.
I wish you a nice and peaceful night, all the best.

Hello Costantino,
The snow makes this photo quite spectacular. The stool (with nobody sitting on it!) is an amusing feature in the foreground, and the elegant railing provides a good lead up to the book-stalls. The books and signs of the shops create a colourful and interesting view. I hope the books were not damaged by the wet snow.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Constantino,
isn't it quite unusual, such amount of snow in Istanbul? We have to ask Mesut Ilgim!
The snow and the forgotten seat in the foreground make your photo unique.
Kind regards,
Elvira

Salut Costantino,
Bien cadr馥 cette vue avec le bon effet de la neige et de cette barri鑽e qui part de l'angle et m鈩e le regard vers les fa軋des.

Hello Costantino,
A well considered composition ideally cropped. The path between the railings, although deep in snow, makes an excellent lead-line toward the well stocked bookshop. Very well exposed with good colour contrasts and excellent sharpness.

Hi Costantino,
there is no doubt this is winter now :)
The abundant snow makes a wonderful decoration here. Also ornamental fences add some geometry in the foreground.
Interesting to see so many books outside at such weather indeed.
Books introduce some color and warmth. I also like the inscriptions in different language.
Great souvenir from Istanbul trip.
Have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
M

Hello Constantino,

Missed this one. Looks cold and it must be unusual to see snow in Istanbul or Athens. Good sharpness & the dark fences add superb graphism and lead in lines. Tfs!

adramad (73030) 2018-12-24 7:58

Hello, dear Costantino.
Very nice winter image with this corner of the city, covered by a good snow, the shop window of the library is a good background with its color.
A beautiful color, as well as a magnificent management of brightness and sharpness.
I wish you a Merry Christmas, together with family and friends.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hi Costantino,
Wow! I didn't expected so much snow in Istanbul but you get it and is still snowing.
The plastic roof over the books protect them to be damage.
In this difficult condition well done picture.
Best regards,
Zbigniew

Hello Costantino,
This may be close to the Grand Bazaar, but it is not the Grand Bazaar. It is rare to see snow in Istanbul.
Happy Holidays,
MT
