Mermaids of Hammamet Photo

Photographer’s Note

One thing I really apprecciate in Tunisia is this blue colour that is present everywhere, even in the statues. This one represent three mermaids and it's situated in one of the most touristic places of Hammamet, near the Medina and the beach.

Ana, you are right about the blue... it so lovely and its everywhere (at least, I notice that in all the photos that I´ve seen so far).

Lovely mermaids, I like the POV and the sun, how is playing as well with the blue and gives a different tone of it.

Beautiful serie of Tunisia!

Saludos, Paula.

Hi Ana,
The blue in the statues looks superb against the blue of the sky. Well seen. Capturing the little bit of the sea, mountains and the two people to the left makes for a fantastic photo. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers,
Debbie

This is quite fascinating. I wonder what story it illustrates?
I like the colour and texture of this shot and the inclusion of a bit of background helps to locate it on the planet for the rest of us.

Hi Ana!
This is the first statue of a female creature in a predominantli Muslim state, I think! Nice sharp photo! I like the place because of the sea and can go without the mermades...

Esplêndida fotografia, Anabela. Realmente essse tom azul que impera nas suas fotos da Tunísia é belo. É um lugar deslumbrante mas você teve muita competência de tornar isso tudo em lindas fotografias.

i know this spot. its such a beautiful country.
i wish the people werent in there. but you did a good job in filling the picture with your main subject

abakri (47) 2006-11-02 19:33

Great job! the contrast of the blue colors in the statue and the sky hurts the eyes! but adds a nice effect.

Beautiful detail with lovely blues. Has the "feel" of a place called "Tunisia" :).

alebastos (246) 2006-11-29 23:35

Olá Ana! Gostei demais das cores que você capturou nesta foto. Apesar da estátua e do céu serem da mesma cor, você conseguiur capturar uma tonalidade diferente, o que causou um efeito muito interessante e destacou bem a obra de arte. Ótimo trabalho. Obrigado por compartilhar! Abraços.
