#1 is an interesting crowd shot for me - I like how they blend together towards the horizon. They fell into an almost perfect wedge shape for your composition too!

#2 Really catches my eye - simple composition and bold colours. Well spotted!

Thanks for positive comment.

#2: I first noticed the wall - but the street was rather crowded so I had to wait for the "decisive moment".

Indeed, you did well by waiting for this moment. Great shot. To me it also shows the vulnerability of human. So small compared to this huge wall. In that respect it forms a formidable contrast with #1 which shows the opposite in many ways.

Beautiful photos, and #2 is visually stunning - the rich colours, layers of patination, the people, the composition.
Look forward to seeing much more of this place, please.

@Fem2008:
You can find a few more on Flickr

Glad you like them.


@Ricardovaste:
If possible try to go to the Ourika valley in the close by Altas mountains. They were covered with snow in the end of February. Quite a sight.

This is another welcome addition to your extensive report on your Morocco trip.
I already mentioned that I spent a week in Morocco at the beginning of this year, but only in the desert and the Atlas Mountains (and an hour on Jemaa el Fnaa, during the day). I still have to sort those photos out.
Your super colorful Jemaa el Fnaa photos give a beautiful picture of the market.
And overall I am impressed by your Morocco photos. It was fun and educational to browse through, especially because of the many perspectives you used (architecture, at home with the population, archaeology, etc.)
Thanks for sharing these
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken
