Istanbul by Night by Orhan Aksel
Captured during a serene August night in Istanbul, this photograph was taken under the glow of a full moon. Though the photographer did not initially set out to shoot, the serendipitous conditions and the presence of a compact camera allowed for this spontaneous capture. The decision to convert the image into black and white was a deliberate creative choice, enhancing the atmospheric quality of the night scene. The resulting image is award-worthy for its ability to transform a casual, unplanned moment into a compelling, moody composition that highlights the timeless beauty of the city under moonlight.
