Hi Figen,

Well done on capturing the mood of the fighters. The dark colours and the close up really works. The sharpness and contrast is also very good.

Thank you for sharing

A very powerful image. The B&W makes it far more effective than color would. You caught it well, and the tight crop really makes it stand out.

Hi Figen,
This is powerful shot, I feel the sweat and sound from the superb texture you have captured. The silver tones, they make the expressions even more pure. Great shot.
Regards
Justin

a beautiful composition and wonderful detail - the choice of tonality for the black and white is just great - a really stunning shot which should be seen far and wide - you are brilliant!! bw Kev

tatil dolaylarında bunu kaçırmışım... yakın plan - dar kesim adına nefis bir örnek valla, tebrix...

Aaaaaaaaaah!
Simple: one of the best photos I have seen of wresting. Period.
The timing, the framing are simply perfect. The expression of both men say it all that is to say. Incredible moment.
But I have to say that technically speaking, it could be a little bit better. There is a white halo around the nose of the second man. And some strange zones here and there, probably because you have "blackened" the background. But, I might be wrong.

Merhaba Figen
There are a few good ones that I missed in your gallery when I was in India
This one to start with, very expressive and showing all the intensity of the struggle in the sweat droplets
A great action shot
Bravo
Best regards
