EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the striking contrast between old and new in Istanbul, Turkey. The image showcases the towering skyscrapers of the business and financial districts as they loom over the historic buildings of the old city. Taken on August 22,2017, by photographer Murad Sezer for Reuters Images, this picture perfectly encapsulates the merging of modern architecture with a rich cultural heritage. The composition is breathtakingly beautiful, with a clear blue sky contrasting against an overcast backdrop. The clouds add depth to the image while emphasizing the grandeur of these architectural marvels. With no people present in the frame, one can truly appreciate both the scale and solitude of these structures. The creative use of space allows viewers to imagine themselves standing amidst this urban cityscape. The absence of any commercial references ensures that attention remains solely on appreciating this stunning vista. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of Istanbul's rapid development but also its resilience in preserving its historical roots. This image serves as a testament to how progress can coexist harmoniously with tradition. In summary, Murad Sezer's photograph offers us a glimpse into Istanbul's evolving skyline and invites us to ponder upon themes such as growth, history, and our ever-changing environment.
