Taken on a gorgeous day wandering around last spring in Kusadasi,Turkey.
Downtown area with scooters and motorbikes galore.
The longish lens compression adds to the tightness of the packing, but even without it, there was little room for anymore.
Shot in RAW converted to jpeg, cropped a bit, and resized.

You've done a great job of making this crowded scene even more crowded, well done.

Between the compression of the lens and the nature of the parking of the scooters and motorbikes one really has a sense of being sandwiched in. Is the brown element towards the upper right hand corner of the picture a tree trunk... reminds me of a glove set on one of the mirrors for the scooters.

Thanks, guys. No, I don't see a glove. Smile

Definitely would not want to drive in Turkey. You captured the congestion and traffic jam perfectly. I feel like I'm in the midst of it all. Almost gives me a claustrophobic feeling. Super perspective...definitely gets the point across.

Hi Diane,
Thanks. Actually though, Turkey, at least this part, was great; highly recommend it as a place to visit. As to driving there, we didn't have to, so it was cool. On the other hand, I'm used to driving in Manhattan in NYC, and that can be pretty intimidating to the uninitiated. :o)
Take care,
Wilt

Great compression shot, although I find myself wanting the f/g larger items to be in focus also. Still makes a strong statement as is.
