Such an interesting point of view by using bab boujeloud as a frame to introduce us the beginning of the crazy rush to that maze of life , bustling crowds , spellbound , colours ,smells , art , people in that medina, Bali . I like the appeased and relaxed atmosphere of those by there and hardly glimpse any faux guide who often are roaming around that place . Depth of field is really good with the minarets , the kind restaurant in the left side where i discover habib koite music and Bou Inania showing herself in a shy way ... What an interesting and joyful contribution you have gifted us . Thanks !

Hi Linas,

Very nice photograph, colors and shapes. Beautiful architecture.

Best regards,

Cristina.

Hi Linas, A brilliant daily life photo & the arch way looks like an opening to a different world, the colours are superb & excellent focus creating great depth, wonderful choice for your POV & the patten around the doorway is beautiful with fine detail, kind regards Wilson.

Good composition and frame, Linas!
Beautiful architecture and ornament.
Tanya.

Excellent color and composition!!!

I think this is the best photo I have ever seen of the gate. I stayed at La Maison Bleu right to the side of the gate and took many photos, but none even close to this (haven't uploaded any Morocco photos yet). Really good.

Hi Linas. A nice vignette showing us life in motion. Also excellent PoV as we can admire both the gate's details and inside, the minarets. Lovely balance to the composition, befitting the Islamic love of geometric harmony. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Linas,
Good composition, beautiful picture with the gate, the two towers and the souk.
Well done. Paul.
