Two men stand, centered on a "flower" marked on the ground, energized and talking. The buildings on each side seem to lean down towards them, as if to listen in, protect or crush them, we do not know.

That latter dystopia is reflective of the path we must travel on our journey. We are just small things in the larger picture.

Well seen and well disciplined in not correcting lens distortion!

I like this one. I get a strong feeling of being there. Nice amount of detail in the houses. Where was this taken?

Thanks Asher and Jarmo.

.... Does the picture also work when the buildings are orthogonal or is most of the interest and uniqueness lost?
What do you think yourself? We have a saying in Dutch: asking the question is actually answering it. ;)

Jarmo this is an old neighborhood in Istanbul.

........

For sure, Cem, some less experienced photographers might have deftly used photoshop skills to proudly present a well-crafted correction of such a picture out of the camera.

Still, it is not obvious that they would always be in error. Were you certain that the image would be damaged or you explored that too in your mind and then rejected it?
