[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The picture was taken in Ouarzazate, in kasbah Taourirt - lagest kasbah of Glaoui dynasty in this area. The moroccan people don't like when you take a picture of them, girls usually run away as soon as you open your camera, men just asking not to take pictures. So I tried to do some shots not to look at view finder. There is one of them. Hope you like it.

Hi Natalia,
Beautiful image, I like it a lot. Your composition is great, and the colors seem very real on an overcast day. I just wish the man's face had a little more sharpness, it has kind of soft focus on it. Your frame works perfect too.
Saludos,
Daniel

Hello Natalie,
you managed to get an interesting shot, well composed despite not being able to use your view finder. I like the contrast of the dark clothing with the coloured buildings.
well done

Hi Natalia,

Wow. What a frame that full with adobe. I like narrow street and very difficult building constructed with adobes. White framed windows; your model adds great value. Excellent colors. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Parbo

Hello, Natalia!
I love this colours! Beautiful! The textures are also great, and so is the POV and the framing including the man with his bike. Incredible how can be everything so monochromatic!

This is very nice - good composition, and I like the square format. Maybe the colour is a little over-vivid - what do you think? I found that men there didn't mind photos so much (with some exceptions), but women though - absolutely no way!
