Stairway to Heaven, a photo from Tetouan, North

Photographer's Note

After an intense day of walking on my guided tour through Tetouan, I was able to catch a glimpse an unusually empty alleyway. As soon as I got the shot children appeared from where it seems like nowhere. The corridor is so peaceful and suggests that it leads to a higher, ethereal (almost heavenly) place if one only follows its stairs.

Hi Nichelle, welcome on TE.
in your image there is a good lane, with amazing colors. the point of view is good, but there are great focus problems and the image have a bad angle. there is also too much light on the top.
i did a Workshop.
thanks, ciao.

Hi Nichelle and welcome to TE.
Your capture proves that you can take take a good picture with ANY camera. It's what behind the camera that count ;-)
Very nice colours, good job.

Cheers Jorn

Welcome to TE Nichelle. A lovely scene you've captured for your first post, and you've foudn a good point of view for it, leading us up the steps. I think you've probably chosen the most common title on the site, but no less good for that.

Well seen

Rotate it a litle bit CW. And one question. Why are they painting their houses with blue, azur blue, and similar colors? Is it something abouth insects?

classic street shot of Morocco. why not wait however for someone to appear in the passage to enliven picture?

Wonderful capture. you could try tilting it slightly in photoshop. Also maybe a bit more colour saturation to really bring out those blues. I'll do a workshop and show u what i mean.

Very nice shot nichelle :) I like this kind of typical little streets. The color effect of this blue is interresting. It's like the sea passed by the street and let its touch on the walls.
