“Cumhuriyet Square Reflection” – Izmir, Turkey – Nejdet Duzen – Featured Photographer
Charlie’s Super Fantastic Photo Tip of the Day: When around water always look for reflections. Sometimes even a mud puddle can be the focus of a shot if it is reflecting something amazing.
This image looks like the guy with the umbrella is walking on glass. The reflection is incredible. Do you have a great reflection shot? If so post it in the comment section.

Enter Nejdet:
Most of time, it was rainy this year. I like cloudy days and reflection photography. Cumhuriyet Square’s marble floor gives perfect reflections on rainy days. On this day I called my photographer friend. We went to Cumhuriyet square. The clouds were amazing. I took some shots and the results turned out great. During the rain my friend posed with an umbrella. I made this shot and then tone mapped it in Photomatix Pro. After some adjustments like contrast and curve I got this awesome photo.

Great image!
merhaba nejdet hocam, genellikle fotono1′de seyretmeye alışmışız ya, başka sitelerdeki başarılı çalışmalarınıza göz atma fırsatımız her zaman olmuyor. asıl flickr sitesinde varsınız ama dediğim gibi zaman mefhumu yetmiyor.
sizi tanımak ve muhteşem fotoğraflarınızı izlemek büyük keyif.
Great picture…
What many people would see as a large, uninteresting empty space is transformed into something exciting. This is what we all strive for, making the ordinary into something extraordinary.
This is so beautiful. It truly looks like a mirror!!Congrats to Nejdet!
Brilliant its a dream world
Quite surreal – Hello Dali.
The cloud positions, the pavement lines – it all drives your eye into the picture. Nicely done
Unbelievably beautiful, stunning, wonderful
Wonderful Image.
The banner on my blog http://www.bigbagsofun.wordpress.com is a nice reflection shot I took at Grand Tetons National Park in 2010.
Nice shot Bag Man!
What a perfect picture.. absolutely brilliant, one that aspiring photographers can aim for .. thank you…
The shallow water here makes it look a lot like a mirage. Wonderful!
Always enjoy Nejdet Duzen’s photography on Flickr!
In my opinion, this picture is very near the pinnacle of reflection photography! I mean, the photographer has taken excellent advantage of the fact that the water is shallow which has resulted in a brilliant mirror-like effect. To add to that, the optical distortion (especially for the clouds) caused by the wide angle lens is simply amazing.
My husband and I just missed out on an opportunity to travel to Turkey. This picture makes me even MORE sad. P.S. Thanks for ‘liking” my post!
The detail in the reflections is truly amazing.
This is an amazing picture I love the clouds and the yellow buildings! Congratulations!

Love the reflection aspect!
Oh! That is really amazing. I am sucked into many things with this shot. From the colors to the reflections, to the sky to the umbrella – everything. Just great!
Very beautiful … for me it is like walking on water.

As always, the photos here take my breath away. Amazing! Sharon
It is a wonderful reflection. The scene is great on its own. The mirror image really enhances it.
Another fantastic photo. The gray and the yellow accent in the background with the reflected blue makes for a work of art.
wow thats a awesome photo!!
So something good came out of all our rain. Surreal shot. Brilliant!
This is a stunning image with the right treatment. Love the clouds and their reflections and the addition of your friend to the image completes its perfection. Wonderful!
