I think this is the best shot in the series. I have a feeling that you are compressing these image too much. Even this image is only 20kb and you can see some pixels floating around the flag too. Perhaps you could apply a bit of sharpening and then try not to compress so much that it would show defects.

I like this one. Looks like the whole place could be floating. Also, the image is richer in colours and contrast than the other ones I have checked and there something more intersting as the central focus in this one.

I find this one very interesting. All the different types of building combined with the sea and boat, there's a lot goin on in this one. Again, there's the odd bit aroudn the border which can be cropped out. Also, I think Curves or Levels adjustments to bring in some more contrast will give it a boost.

Looks like a nice place. I find the composition forcing myself to see what's on the right, like if there's something missing. I think playing a bit with contrast can bring out the fortress and emphasize the focus more on the stone work. Also, there's an odd bit of black at the top right, probably from rotating the image. I think this shot can definitely be improved with some minor adjustments.

This is a beautiful shot, I am envious of the people who live or get to visit these breathtaking scenes. The colors in both the water and sky are beautiful.

This is a very nice shot, I prefer this one to the similar one, the sky is much brighter as well as the tower, very nice composition also, nicely done, keep up the good work!

This is a great shot Yasemin! I've had the pleasure of spending a day in Istanbul on my way back to the states from Adana. It was a rainy day, so I couldn't get out on the water like I wanted to. I love this shot just the way it is. Nice work! :)

Your photo reminds me of some old french painting. I enjoyed it a lot.

I voted this a 3 becuase there really is no composition, the horizon isn't level, and just overal confusion.
