Something about the restaurant boats is magical. The lighting, the water, the cityscape in the background.
Quality blog...
Wow. His work has such an ethereal dream like quality about it. Wonderful.
Thanks for stopping by WM.
Besides the hazy atmosphere I specially like the way they are composed. I prefer the first one. The tiny man caged in the monumental architecture, the white tiles, the man's pose and the city in the distance claiming her part in the picture. The boats are great too, specially the mist and reflections. Thanks for introducing Ferit Cuyas' work to us.
Amazing photos. Brava! Italo.
