You may take some less than great shots but certainly not that I've seen. Your composition is excellent in my opinion. I loved the Ankara shots also.

Beautiful composition - I love the detailed close-up of the towers, and the distant view to Asia. I like this shot better than the one in the link.

Thank you for the comments! Pearl, see if you like this better, I was torn between the shots but my husband said he liked the one I entered more, so I went with that (but not sure I agreed, LOL):http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/61293687 Helen

Great shot. For a moment, I had the top part of the shot cut off by my screen and I actually liked it better. See what you think by c ropping off about 3 inches off the top so that the tips of the tower are cut off. It just enhances it for me somehow. But, nice shot, I love the focus

Very nice catch of the repetitive towers. I like the buildongs on the right too, which give a support for the composition. MCsaba
