Those textures really jump out of the picture. Fascinating shot, thanks for sharing. Did you choose not to show his eyes?

thanks a lot guys....

I was sitting staring at this photo and guess what.

I took photo of this old man. He was there all alone, and in the mosque.
There is a famous mosque in Istanbul, namely EYUP Sultan. I wont take your time with the history of this mosque, but the strange thing is that when I walk into the garden of this mosque its completely different.Anyway let me finish what I was about to tell you...
Right now, thanks God, we good and healthy. We got cameras, we got food to eat, we got friends.
What about "TOMORROW" ???? Or day After TOMORROW???

Where we will be? Who will be there by ourside?
How many of us will be homeless???? How many will wear hat for women? Who will stay in the garden of church or mosque, asking with the tears on our eyes, for the help or even GOOD FRIENDLY HELLO! Is there anything that I can help you? Are you hungry or you feel lonely?????

God damn, when I look at new generation. Oh no, I dont want to live as an old man with those who ready to kill just for fun.....

Sorry its a bid depressing....
I will add some more.... I hope you'll like them.....

Fragala, I don't know how you do it, each image you post seems stunning and much better than the last! But they all are stunning. What a wonderful evocative photo.

A fine character portrayal, Fragla. I agree with you sentiments about the humanity of other people and their misfortunes.

You are obviously a passionate and caring person Fragla, it shows in your work.
Have you considered making a book of some of your images and offering them to a Homeless or Poor charity for fundraising purposes? Much of your work is extremely printworthy.

@Damn Brit

Thanks for your opinion. Since I am new at photography, thus I have to improve myself. I should do it and go as far as it is possible. Only after, I will consider this kind of charity.

Now I got some photos, but they are not that good and not as someone else's.

Maybe, I can try at least, but I have to find someone who will press them.
