Very good first post, Sezai.
I like the pose and the sharp eye. Well composed and good exposure. The details and colours are also good.
Very well done.

Hi Sezai. This is incredibly sharp and detailed. Excellent exposure bringing out the colours really well. If I were you I would have tried one shot where I altered my POV slightly so as to get the BG blues on a 1/3 and 2/3 basis or completely one blue or other other. It's not that I think this technique would necessarily improve this shot (I think it's great as it is) but it would be worth the experiment and I mention it only because I saw this composition technique recently in a magazine ;). Anyway, your photo is, as I say, absolutely stunning just as it is and you should be very proud of it. Welcome to TN and keep them coming! TFS :)
