Bonjour Vincent

Je ne vais pas mentir, la qualité n'est pas optimale. Un manque de piqué que tu as sans doute essayé de corriger en forçant sur l'outil netteté... Du coup le bougainvillier perd de son naturel, et on ne peut apprécier ni les détails, ni les textures.

Cependant, la composition est très bien pensée.
Une belle utilisation des arches pour diriger le regard et un bel équilibre.
Et bien sûr la beauté de ces deux couleurs typiques de Sidi Bou Saïd, qui finalement se suffisent presque à elles-mêmes ;o)

Amicalement,
Karine

Hi vincent
when beauty of houses and its colors come together beauty of bright red flowers of tree that is an excellent work of art between stones protruding in a very different combination occurred.

Indeed, all plants and all trees describe their Maker with numerous tongues in such a way that they leave those who study them in amazement,
Yes,the glorification of all plants at the time their flowers open, and the moment they produce new shoots, and when they offer their smiling words is as beautiful and clear as themselves. For the order demonstrating wisdom through the beautiful mouth of each flower and the tongue of its well-ordered shoots and the words of its well-measured seeds is observedly within a balance which demonstrates knowledge. And the balance is within an embroidery of art which demonstrates skill and craft. And the embroidery of art is within an adornment which demonstrates favour and munificence. And the adornment is within subtle scents which demonstrate mercy and bestowal. And these meaningful qualities one within the other form such a tongue of testimony that it both describes the All-Beauteous Maker through His Names, and portrays Him through His attributes, and expounds the manifestation of His Names, and expresses His making Himself loved and known. And so, if you hear such testimony from a single flower, when you listen to all the flowers in the Dominical gardens on the face of the earth and hear with what elevated strength they proclaim the necessary existence and Unity of the All-Glorious Maker, will your doubts and suspicions and heedlessness be able to persist
Best Regards
Greetings

Ah, le bleu et blanc de Sidi Bou et les bougainvilliers....le tout inondé de soleil (un peu trop même ce qui donne des zones un peu surex et a dû perturber un peu ton capteur pour la mise au point). Même si l'image manque un peu de définition, elle attire le regard....et en plus me remet en mémoire des souvenirs anciens!

Bonjour Vincent,
Très jolie photo et je reconnais bien les couleurs de la Tunisie qui me rappellent de bons souvenirs. Excellente composition et beau contraste de couleurs, on oublie la netteté qui à été un peu forcée. Le bouquet de fleurs ajoute de la gaiété à la photo.
Toue mes compliments,
Amicalement,
Emilius

bonsoir Vincent
le cadrage met superbement le bleu et le blanc en valeur,tout comme les détails architecturaux de cette ville!Alors oui,il y a de légères surexpositions,et un manque de netteté,ce qui n'empêche pas que ce soit terriblement agréable à regarder!
Amitiés

Looks like a typical scene from a greek island. White and blue colors are combined excellently and along with the bougainvillea yield a great photo.
