Photographer’s Note
Hi all,
Taken during my visit to Madinat Jumeriah souk. Souk is in arabic means mall or bazaar.
- - ---- - - - - - - - - - - - - - ---- - - - -
Souk (Sook) : Meandering paths lead visitors through a bazaar-like atmosphere in which open fronted shops and intimate galleries spill onto the paved walkways.
- - ---- - - - - - - - - - - - - - ---- - - - -
Its located at Jumeriah road, dubai and near to quite famous Hotel/landmark Burj-Al Arab.
It mimiced Dubai's heritage and styled to resemble an ancient Arabian citadel.In the extreme left of the picture, you can see burj Al Arab hotel.In the heart of souk, artificial lake is located and reflection looks really good.
It has
* Unique shopping complex
* 75 boutique shops
* 23 waterfront cafés, bars and restaurants
* Open plazas and nightclub
* Airconditioned walkways
* 432 seat Madinat Theatre
I hope TE members will like it.
regards,
Bharat

A wonderfully exposed and sharp pic. The colours are superb and I like the way the Burj Al Arab looms over the other buildings like some alien construction. Good note too.

Hi Bahrat, wonderful light!. This is a greatr nightshot, the composition is very well, and the reflection on the water is beautiful.
I'm a bit distracted by the text in the frame, I think it would be nicer, without.

Nice lighting effect achieved. The contrast between the orange and the White gives importance to both your subjects. Nicely composed. 'Madinat Jumeriah' looks like sand castle.

Olá Bharat, está foto ficou muito linda, mesmo. Esse hotel que construíram no meio da água deve ser coisa de outro mundo, e a luz que a arquitetura da sua cidade tem deu um show às suas fotos. Parabéns.

Hi Bharat,
That's a very nice and efficient composition. The exposure is perfect. Beautiful subject with the famous Burj-Al Arab hotel in background. Well done !

Very good nightshot. Good composition and very good quality. The atmosphere created by the yellowish light is superb and is a nice contrast against the white lighted hotel at the back. Not easy, but good result.

Hi Bharat, this is a very nice and well composed night shot. The light is wonderful here and due to the absence of daylight the graphic feel of the sook and its surroundings is very fine too. Very good job!
Regards from Rotterdam, Bert.

Postcard quality. Great shot. Maybe a tighter crop at the bottom. Or a wider view? I am not sure what to comment for improvement. As it is, a good shot already.

Fantastic photo. Wonderfully captured. The saturated colours impressed me. You could have completed the turret of the tower. Anyway, all in all is a good picture. Congrats.

Hello Bharat,
This night shot is excellent. I like the contrast between the warm yellow light on the buildings and the white light of the hotel in the background.
The only detail I don't really like is the comment you placed in the frame at the top. i find it too distrcting for the eye.
Regards, Brigitte

Glittering picture Bharat. The bow shaped building behind the subject is little distracting. But a fantastic capture.
