[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the city of Muscat, a large harbour and its old city. Muscat has a mixed flavour of a modern, clean but traditionnel arabic city.

It's especially nice to walk in the Souq in the late afternoon when the temperature starts to decrease, then to enjoy a walk along the harbour to have a view over the traditional skyline with its Minarets and the neverending steep moutains which surrounds almost any city along the coast.

It's also the opportunity to meet Omanese people and their beautiful dishdasha (long white clothe) and a small lightcolored hat.

That evening, I tried to find a nice spot to get a mix of seashore and city life and made several long exposure pictures during the blue hour.

Hi Steven

Spectacle shot and very good composition. Those reflection are really looking stunning. The cervical shot of the cityscape came out very nicely. Great color, amazing light, great composition and a stunning POV.

Hello Steven,
A fine night time composition captured at just the right moment when there is still some blue in the sky. Good point of view making good use of the foreground building and the curve of the sea front to heighten depth and perspective. Lovely tones, especially in the sky, and some nice reflections.

hi Steven

I like the night exposure 4s used and very sharp and good clarity in this well composed scene. Must be nice place for a visit. Good work.
