Hallo Achim,

ein Anblick bzw. Ausblick den man eigentlich in diesem Land nicht erwartet hätte, zumindest nicht in dieser farblichen Zusammensetzung..schöne Detailaufnahme (und die Busscheibe war auch sehr sauber!!)

viele Grüße Bernd

Guten Morgen Achim!
Das ist aber eine ungewöhnliche Landschaft. Der Kontrast zwischen Wiesen und - tja was ist es ? - den strahlendweißen Dünen oder Felsen ist unglaublich. Unter diesen Umständen geschossen - ein tolles Foto!
Grüße aus Siegen - kalt und sonnig!

Achim,
This is a nice landscape shot. At first I thought the mountains were snow covered but realized that it is not. The lighting and colors are fine with excellent sharpness and detail. There seems to be a bit of noise in the sky form some reason, maybe this could be cleaned up in PP.
TFS,
Asa

Hello Achim,
A good presentation from a moving vehicle. I like the layering effect and the soft natural colours. Reasonable sharpness throughout.

Hello Achim,

Superb landscape and superb view with this very nice green colour. The Maroc is beautiful in spring. A large composition very well balanced too under a sky well collected. Good, nice nad interesting photowork.

Hello Achim.
I do not think of green, when I think of Morocco! But why should that be? If someone showed me this picture with no idenitification of the place I would have guessed somewhere in Iceland! But of course that is not snow. You shot creates a great feeling of depth and wide spaces.
Regards,
Andrew

marvellous green scenery. The image quality isn't the best but it doesn't really matter because this is really beautiful and there's a nice play of shadows all around. The white hills stand out well under the sun and in contrast with the surrounding green.
best wishes,
ricardo

Hi Achim,

very interesting land. I think I've never seen anything similar. You did a great job on the catch. Shooting from buses is not an easy task but I see here that the image is well balanced in its elements and it comes with superb details. Great job!
Regards,
Carlos

Salut Achim,
Très joli paysage en trois plans, bien réussi pour une photo prise à travers la fenêtre d'un autobus. Les différents tons de vert sont intéressants et belle harmonie de couleurs avec la montagne enneigée et le ciel.
Bravo!... et bonne journée,
Emilius

Bonjour Achim.
Pour une photo prise du bus c'est une vraie réussite. J'aime ce paysage où le vert de la végétation s'oppose au gris des rochers. Il en résulte une photo très agréable.

Hey Achim,

Morocco, land of so many faces. It never ceases to surprise me how green it can be, so thank your for supplying photos that "make me believe". Its a very nice photo, with good contrasts, the shades falling on the ground make quite an impact. Some grain, but thats for the nitpickers.

Best regards.

stego (22350) 2009-02-20 20:47

Hi Achim,
I think I already commented this before in one of your posts of Morocco, but I'll repeat it: it's a vision of Morocco unknown to me, because I only have visited the country in the Summer, but I remember having thought that this region must be quite scenic in Winter and Spring. The contrast of the apparent fertility of the low lands and the aridness of the white hills is impressive. I like very much also the light, I find that the shadows of the clouds render a beautiful effect that compensates for the less interesting sky.
Regards, José.

Cricri (43030) 2009-02-21 5:26

Hi Achim
Un paysage verdoyant qu'on a pas l'habitude voir du Maroc, beau contraste avec le gris des montagnes, une image belle et réussie
Have a nice weekend for you

Hi Achim,
Amazing bird view shoot taken inside a bus, it seem like your bus moving on the plateu or ascent the slope. Beautiful wide landscape, clear to see how houses distribute on the wide land, good shoot.

Jakab (3466) 2009-02-23 13:52

Hallo Achim,
wieder die merkwürdigen Farben! Die von Wolken geworfenen Schatten machen die Grafik des Hügels noch interessanter, das gesamte Bild wirkt irgendwie exotisch für mich.
Viele Grüße
Laszlo

JCG (25207) 2009-02-24 10:14

Hi Achim,

It does not seem to Morocco here, a landscape of contrasts and surprising really interesting with this gray sky. I appreciate very much the feeling of space and freedom represented by this landscape. Interesting, thank you Achim.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

Hi Achim,
Wonderful shot with beautiful colors and contrasts. I liked of these nice gradient on the mountains. Excellent pov and framing. Best regards, Consuelo

pierrefonds (26167) 2009-03-21 16:58

Hi Achim,

I like the contrast between the green of the fields and the white sandy colord of the mountains. The point of view takes our eyes toward the mountains which is giving depth to the photo. The quality of the light is enhancing the colors of the scenery. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Emile (19913) 2009-03-24 13:42

Hola Achim.
