A busy Istanbul

A shot taken from the metro bridge. I like the vanishing point and the clouds. Touched on acdsee.

Comments welcome.

That looks remarkably orderly for Istanbul. I remember much more chaos

I see the vanishing point but it's not really what draws the eye immediately. Something's a bit off but I'm not sure what. Too much of the buildings on the left, perhaps? Bumping the contrast a little? Not sure.

It's a little dark and the light object (top of a train?) in the lower left is distracting, at least to me.

I took the buildings on the left cause it's actually where I stay. . Double tree Hilton. Avcilar. ..

Oh dear lord, I clearly need my second cup of coffee. I meant the buildings on the ​right. (We need a facepalm smiley.)

Anyway. There are several elements that take attention away from that vanishing point that you like about the shot. Those elements vary, judging by comments above (exposure, buildings, bus at the bottom of the frame...)

 

[santoshrane]

Agreed. . Thank you
Next time will try and time the traffic and metro bus. Honestly I didn't pay attention to bus at the bottom of the frame.

And that's, what makes this picture.

I agree with the comment on it seeming dark. I think the sky could used some burning and the foreground could use some dodging.
I like the composition though.

Technically you guys are right, a document would require this. But, is that the vision of Santo ? This picture is more about the feel of flow, about the "push" of masses in one direction, and everything in that picture seems to support that feeling.
