[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Due to my work I had the chance to visit Algeria for 10 days. It was really a two-sided experience:
On the one hand I was pleased by the country and its nice people but on the other hand you are reminded to the threats of terrorism every day when you have to pass through so many police controls.
I was also shocked when another car bomb exploded not far away from Alger on my last day over there.
But still I would like to thank everyone over there for making me feel comfortable during my stay. I would like to highlight that a lot of the stories about Algeria you get in the so-called globalized media are missleading and do not reflect the daily life.

This photo shows a left watchtower at the private beach of the hotel where I stayed.
I just adapted contrast and brightness.

I like the tones and textures and the very soothing colours in this nicely balanced and crafted composition. Good work indeed.

Bonjour, je ne trouve pas de raison valable pour donner un bon point à ta photo, je suppose que tu as pris d'autres cliché de l'Algérie plus valorisants. Par contre j'apprécie beaucoup ton commentaire qui est très objectif à la fois neutre et loyal... Merci
