Food Stalls at Dusk: Djemaa al-Fna Photo

Photographer’s Note

As the sun sets, Marrakech's famous square comes to life. Food stalls spring up and the fires and stoves create an erie haze and a wonderful smell. Shooting slightly into the sun gave this shot a nice silhouette.

this is the spirit of Djemaa el Fna!
a turmoil of life, dust, fragrances, activities....and this shot shows it in the true essence.
That man is well shaped and clear ..and the light smoke veil emphasizes the activity around him

muito boa foto não só quanto à técncia mas quanto ao objeto da mesma: o trabalho humano. boa luz e composição aproveitando o sol em oposição à imagem esfumaçada. parabéns, gostei.

I can smell the inviting scent of the roasted lamb meat...Ilike your choice of depth of field and that slightly blurred lamp. The head on the foreground could be cropped out though, still I like the shot showing a very focused busy subject. Thanks for sharing...Alex
