    A very nice set of street scenes, Ahmet. Number 2 has particular interest for me.

    Some nice captures Ahmet. The shadows are a little heavy for my taste and could be lifted with a curves adjustment but maybe that's how you wanted it.

    Hi Ahmet, a nice set My fav is #1 although it is a bit soft. 1/20 sec. is too slow for moving people/objects and for a handheld shot. So, I would increase the ISO next time for sharper image. Shadows look a bit too heavy in #3 and #4. That yawning lady in #3 looks so interesting that I would crop the image to put the emphasis more on the ladies with mobile phones

    Hi Binnur, thank you very much for your comments. You are supporting and encouraging me a lot. I had already cropped the image on the ladies but then l thought it would be cropped too much that's why l changed my mind and uploaded the original one. I am trying to upload the cropped one but l have a problem and I can't do it.

    Hi Ahmet Recently I have been seeing comments about the difficulty of uploading images, so it might be something about Tinypic. You might as well try again tomorrow .

    PS. If the problem consists, you can start a thread about it . I'm sure one of the mods will try to help

    Re: Black and white

    Hi Ahmet . I'm afraid your crops don't work for me as the half bodies don't look so good in crop1 and crop2 is a very tight one . Also both crops don't show environment very much.The bus stop sign gives an idea about the environment but it also distracts my eyes from the ladies. I'm uploading another crop option just to give you an idea. In my crop I included more of the environment and I excluded the bus stop sign as it is easy to understand from the image that those two ladies are waiting either for the bus to come or for the traffic lights to turn green.It really doesn't matter what they are waiting for as the ladies are the main subject of the image. You can include the bus stop sign if you want , but I tried and I preferred the image without the sign as I found the composition more to the goal this way

    Hi Binnur. Thank you very much for crop. I tried that one before but I don't know why my eyes always followed the tram line first and then looked at the other part of the photo.. That's the reason I cropped the second one too tight. I agree with you about the first one. The half cropped bodies don't look good.

    Re: Black and white

    Hi Ahmet. I think there isn't much to do about the image as this is the scene in hand. May be a different shooting angle to put the emphasis more on the ladies would be better . Anyway, what matters is that your photography is getting better from day to day . Please keep shooting and posting

    I just want to make a general suggestion about your PP work. You usually have deep shadows in most of your images and when you lift them you usually apply it to the whole image. But sometimes it is enough and/or necessary to edit an image selectively. So, I would suggest that you should learn how to make adjustments selectively(only to a particular part of the image) if your software allows you.
