More from Morocco

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

The last one is magical... Did you provide any of the light or was it a mix of tungten and sun?

:agree:

#s 2 and 3 are pretty bloody good as well. Great use of colour in 2, and wonderful composition in #3.

You done good, Frank.

Whilst these are all great, the third one just stands out for me! :up: The composition on this is stunning, I love the way the street leads your eye thru the picture which in turn corresponds to the direction the person sitting there is looking. The colours and variations in the doors is awesome, the person seems to be sitting, waiting for someone to come home, great stuff, looks like a very colourful (literally) place!

Maybe clone that bloody aircon unit out though... :wink:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

No, light was as provided...I guess tungsten (can't really remember, but it was fairly dim) plus sunlight coming through the well in the background. It was handheld, 1.6 sec @ f9 using the 18-200 VR lens...the capability of the VR to allow me to shoot handheld in this light never ceases to amaze me.
