Amber Sunset Reflection in Polished Brass Doorknob

Rich amber light from the setting sun washes over a weathered metal doorknob mounted on a stone wall beside the canal in Eskişehir. The polished brass surface acts as a convex mirror, distorting the features of a person standing close by into a warped, abstract self-portrait. Heat haze shimmers above the canal water in the background, softening the distant stone embankment and creating a visible waviness in the air. The shallow depth of field keeps the doorknob's ridges and the reflection sharp while blurring the canal's edge. A final line of golden light catches the curve of the metal where the distorted face meets the stone.
