[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another shot from the palace hotel that I showed in my previous posting here. I loved the windows and the lack of symmetry. I know that it is a bit skewed in the top right. But I like the different lines in this shot (including the diagonal shadows being made from the morning sun).

This hotel really did impress me, yet nobody seems to visit it, nor even really seem to know about it. I had seen a photo of it previously, and I had to ask about 15 people in Sana'a where it actually was in Yemen. Luckily I finally found a helpful man who told me it was in Hadramawt (which luckily I was heading to anyways).

hmmm...i guess this is a better shot than the first one you posted. the colors here are more of a standout and there is a concentrated theme despite the variety of colors.

Hi David

What vibrant colors brought out by some nice light. Good comp. Yemen is a place I really would like to visit. Well done.

Hello David,
Beautiful whole with the geometrical forms and the superb colors

Marc

Hi David,
This is a wonderful looking hotel and it's a pity that the rooms were too expensive for you to stay there. Your previous shot showed a global view of the place, but this one is much artistic. The saturated colors are great, but I think that the graphical impact would have been even better if you had corrected the distortion, so I just tried a WS for fun...
Have a nice day.
Brigitte

Hi David.

Excellent colours in that picture again. Amazing and impossible to enjoy here!

Rgs, Oscar

David
Ces façades colorées, magnifiquement éclairées, sont superbes. Brigitte m'a devancé dans la réalisation du WS pour redresser les lignes (celà donne un aspect encore plus graphique à l'image, à mon avis...)
Amicalement

Hi David

I did not see this hotel when I was in Yemen a couple of years ago. Well composed - the blocks of colour are lovely and I like the way you have got the shadows of the waterspouts running diagonally over the surface.

Hi David
look at the color , it need, good job

A superbly composed patchwork quilt of beautiful pastel colours. The strong sidelighting has caused the shadows from the water overflow pipes to give this some depth.Very colourful and striking shot. Kind regards, Paul.

Beautiful colors. Horizon needs to be tilted as it is not straight. If you see the horizontal line at the top you will see what I mean.
Thanks for sharing
