Fishermen on Galata Bridge in Istanbul, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

The Galata Bridge (in Turkish Galata Köprüsü) is a bridge that spans the Golden Horn in Istanbul, Turkey. (Wikipedia)

The Bridge is occupied with fishermen 24 hours a day. During my stay, I walked the bridge couple of times and each time took photos of fishermen from different angles. At the end, I was satisfied with this one.

Hello Mato,
A fantastic photo of fishermen on the famouse bridge.
I assume you were using a zoom - but the outcome is superb.

Original and very good composition. The effect caused by the narrow depth of field catches the eye. Congratulations.
