The new and the old- the shiny polish in contrast to the weather-worn door and the pensive shop keeper.

The composition of this photo is absolutely incredible! Everything is so perfectly balanced, including the expression of the artisan. GREAT PICTURE!

The composition of this photo forced me to consider: how many of these objects need to be sold to eke out a living and, how many mouths can be fed through this craft and finally, considering the age of the shopkeeper pictured, does this skill end with him or has it been passed onto another generation?

As one who loves Turkey and little shops and shopkeepers like the one shown this picture really made me smile. Beautiful. Good eye!

Breathtaking. One of the, if not the, finest depiction of layers of beauty, time and function portrayed in a superb composition. Bravo

Oh! WHAT A SHOT.BRAVO. The picture itself is a perfect present.Thanks for it.
