Face to Face Photo

Photographer’s Note

Woman face to face. Woman face to face with the reality of survival. I learned from out tour guide that these girls are college students and that they come here to study for the test.

Taken in Bab Oudaia, Rabat, Morocco. My other picture of this place had the dominant blue color. This time it is pink. It is a wonderful place.

I like the way you have managed to make the spot where the two girls are lighter than the rest of the picture.

I also like the colours, and the fact that the girls just mind their own business.

Wonderful pink color and beauiful lighing. You've manage to capture the very essence of the Mediterranian way of life.

A very interesting and almost surreal image. It almost looks like the trees behind are painted on a theatre backdrop. Interesting lighting. Well done.

A lovely every day scene. The architecture and trees are beutiful and they seem so relaxed. The pink color can easily be fixed. If you don´t have Photoshop it can also be done in Windows Photo Editor. With this color I think you can increase green to get rid of it.

Beautiful, candid picture. Colors are magnificent and your composition is very relaxing. The lines are easy to follow. The way the light highlight your subjects make this shot very dramatic. I was there in the same tour but you see this one and I didn't. Good eye. Envy you for this shot.

I like the privacy mood of this shot, as if you were allowed in a private yard where these two girls were studying. The light falling directly on them is great too, but a little overexposed on the white pants. I have just noticed there are grapes above their heads, I wish I could try a WS to make the grape stand out a little more.

Lovely peaceful photo. The composition is great and the lighting of the two women is very interesting.

Lovely pool of light the young women are sitting in. Gentle soft tones for a peaceful scene.Whle I like the hanging flowers I would crop it all around just a little so that we can get a larger view of the main subject; the women together.
