Salam,
A great shot with a lovely composition.
Regards,
Atousa

Belle composition avec une judicieuse utilisation des lignes pour renforcer l'impression de méditation du personnage et des tons gris qui donnent de la douceur à l'image.

The composition here is outstanding, Greg. Really really good. The pattern of the stairs and the way the stairs are leading up to the man is great.

Hi Greg

Wonderful lines, the composition is spot on. The B&W choice perfect. Perhaps could be ever so slightly darker though as the picture blends into the frame top right. But great work.

Wonderful b&w work. The high-key surrounding really makes the man pop out of the image. I also like how the lines of the two flights of stairs work together and how these white "balls" lead to the man.

impressive b&w... soft, very soft... and a perfection composition with the man on the upper part. Excellent.

Really, the photo worth of it's name :)). Great high key composition with a touch of human feelings (perfectly situated by the way). Like it very much. Greetings T.

Greg, I'm all over this series your doing of the Hassan II mosque. Where on earth did you get the idea for doing this sort of white on white treatment? Was it inspired by the place itself? With a lot of the intricate geometric patterns (in some of the places we were anyway), I can see how exactly why you'd choose it. Yet I'd have never thought of it. Brilliant.

Another great Casablanca shot Greg. I love the white & grey tones leading the eye to the almost black focal point of the man. Good composition and framing to compliment the effect.

Nice work.
John

The lines are wonderful- they drag you all over the frame. It's all so delicate, which is unusual because the composition is so strong and solid. Really nice.

Hi Greg,
Ohhhh yes I like it! It's subtle and elegant. I don't know how you did this B&W but the results is cool. I'm not so sure about all these stairs in the bottom half, maybe theyr are a few too many for me, but on the whole it's a nice photo!

Hello Greg,
The dominating white corresponds to the location's name very well. The b/w is a success here. Nice relaxing picture.

Hi Greg,

this is pure poetry. So fragile output of the capture but such a strong motive. Everything is just as it suppose to be. Image that moves me.

Best regards,
Jeri

Perfect,
it is a strong & emotion photo
