[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was walking in the medina in Fes when I saw this man coming my way. The streets are so narrow, that the only transportation media are donkeys and horses. I thought this would be an original daily life picture so I took a shot. As soon as I pushed the shutter, the guy told me not to make the picture (as you can see here), but it was already too late. Sadly, he was so close, that I "cut" the legs of the beast of burden. Of course, respecting his will, I didn't attempt to make a new shot.

I sharpened slightly, removed a blue hue and added a frame

Hi Yvonne,
I remember these narrow streets very well, easy to get lost and a lot of business going all during the day. Great shot with good sharpness and detail. Colours are good, and the patterns on the street are wonderful.
Have a nice weekend, Henk

Nice daily life shot and good note. What is the guy doing with the bottles?

Best regards,

Rob

I like this image, Yvonne. It is fun to see everyday life in this way.

Salut yvonne
Excellente scène de rue, et le contraste entre la mule et le coca-cola est un reflet étonnant de notre societé de consommation ...
Bravo!
A+
Jacques
