    Default Cappadocia at sunset

    A less famous scene from Cappadocia, without the truly iconic tufa spires. But I liked the great light that the very soft sunset painted the rocks with.

    Hi Dvir

    Agree it nice light and you have a nice clean image of what looks to be some interesting country. I am struggling to locate a strong focal point however...

    Hi Dvir, love the soft light here...beautiful...not sure if it is an optical illusion or not but too my eyes it looks like it needs a slight counter clockwise rotation?

    Thanks Andrew, I think in this case its an optical illusion. There is a slight crop, and I think because the top of the mountain leads in from the top corner, the depth of the mountain gets skewed a bit, making it seem that way. Looks at the distant mountains that have the haze around them, they are perfectly straight showing it like it was, and showing the image is straight. I too now see the false tilt and agree I could have left a bit of room above the mountain which might have changed the perspective.

    Nice light and textures. I feel it needs a hint more midtone contrast and actually I would say I'd like to see a counter-clockwise rotation (optical illusion or not, just how I perceive it).

    Ok did a slight rotation, and added a bit of contrast.

    Dvir, I would have liked it rotated the other way, maybe worth just checking it out?
