Patriotic Pattern
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

Today was Atatürk and Youth and Sports Day, and as usual on national holidays here, there were Turkish flags and giant banners of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk everywhere around the city. This was taken at Karum Shopping Mall, where my office is also located.

Thank you both for your comments! I decided to move this into the exhibition gallery as I took a picture this weekend that I wanted to use in eligible. Helen

This is great Helen, one of my favourite colour schemes is red on cream and you've nailed it here.

You've created 2 good sets of lines, you've got great saturation without being OTT and there's a very pleasant quality to the image. Well done! Adam Bramley

Great catch Helen! Really nice pattern composition overall, though what does it for me for some reason is the two little creases at the top of each of the first two banners... call me weird but that really enhances the depth of the image for me!
