Crop is your most powerful tool, always

Nice shot! Here’s my quick take 
Edit: Can I get a sanity check? Is it too hdr looking with all this contrast etc?

Maybe I should travel to Instanbul after the COVID-19 crisis. Looks interesting.

Thanks man
Idk, I left for an hour and came back to see the images, and something is off. Too sharp, too contrasty or something. It looks more like Italy than Turkey (not that I’ve ever been to Turkey).
Hm, actually when I look at it in bigger size it’s fine. Oh well xD
Could almost be a snow globe.

Interesting that the light is coming somewhat from the left in the photo, while the light in the sky appears to be coming from the right, and our eyes seem to accept that. I wouldn’t have thought of it without Morgin including the separate image of the sky.

You have a point: I didn’t notice it.
