Hello Ian
A beautiful view of the tower and the houses around it. I like your choice of black and white. Clarity and exposure are well done. Thanks for sharing

Hi Ian,
Well taken and presented this famous tower, interesting effect for contrast with b&w version, good frame with the tower like focal point of view, tfs.

Hello Ian,
There may have been minor changes among the buildings below the tower since 1998, but B&W makes this look very timeless. When I was in Istanbul in the 1970's the Galata Bridge rested on pontoons and swayed quite distinctly on windy days. It was also placed a few meters to the side, compared with the present bridge. I have posted a photo from 1972.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Ian,

The buildings are framing well the tower. The point of view is showing the details of the tower and of the buildings. The black and white is giving a good contrast to the scene. Have a nice day.

Hi Ian,
Quite timeless looking picture where B&W fits perfectly. I checked my own photos from 2011 and it appears this are hadn't changed much. Well done!

Hello Ian,
Here are two pictures that show very well how I remember Istanbul.
Your main photo has a good contrast between the well lit and the darker parts.
It also has the charm of an old postcard.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Ian,

I like photographs from our archives which capture special buildings or features and fix them in time. Our world is changing so rapidly that they become important records of the past. I'm sure the old tower will still look very much the same but, as a b&w photoraph, it seems timeless.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

I liked this version in B&W, the shapes of the old town, the tower in evidence and the publicity placards created a special compo.

take care

Hello Ian,
Nice one, B&W makes it look old and there is nothing in the frame to say otherwise. I am surprised the shops of Galata Bridge were not open in the WS photo, maybe it was taken soon after the newest bridge was completed.
