[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a shot of a colomn in the Medersa Bou Inania. Medersas are coranic schools. I loved the combination of the tiles and the carvings on the walls.

The medina of Fes is a very interesting place to visit, although you need a guide to walk around, because it's a gigantic labyrinth where you can easily get lost.

Hi Yvone,

I agree with you the combination of tiles and carvings are special here. Nice colors and texture. Interesting framing, showing the colomm in the center and just a litlle part of the wall on background, it adds some deph and also contrast to the composition.

Regards,

Flavia

beautiful detail. I think our eyes can be a little lost in the middle of so many things.

Hi Yvonne. Lovely detail in this artwork, and beautiful colours too. I'd consider cropping more from the top, but I like the way you've presented the shot in this simple frame. An interesting shot - well done.
