on the square Photo

Photographer’s Note

The colorful clothing of Moroccans can be a bit overwhelming. I found it hard to put my camera down for a second. These women were enjoying the afternoon sun, which had just popped out to warm everyone up after an ugly, rainy, very windy day.

Later in the evening of this same day i lost my shoe while trying to board a train and got stuck in Meknes for longer than i intended (had to wait for the next train so i could retrieve my shoe from the tracks!). It wasn't a bad place to be stuck, though.

Hello Emily,
it is a nice group picture, i like your flat composition with the 2 pillars on each side and good colors. There is a kind of symetry here.
Well done
Luan

Hi Emily, I like your POV to get this quiet daily life scene.
I like the composition with the women and sons in the half bottom part, their colorful dresses adds points of attention. The old wall with the columns and shadow, is a perfect background.
Best regards.
Jaume

Sorry about your shoe, Emily!
;-D
Very good composition where only thing's missing to be absolutely perfect - and that would be a person standing in the middle, between women in red and blue.
Anyway, I love the old wall and all these colours you mention in your note.
Cheers,
Robi
