Photographer’s Note
Chefchaouen, ciudad donde reina el color. Fundada en 1471, esta considerada como ciudad santa del Islam, y donde su acceso estuvo prohibido para los cristianos. En la ciudad, situada en la vertiente de dos montañas, habitan una mezcla de descendientes hispanos, moriscos y bereberes. En 1958, en Chefchaouen, y ante el sultán Mohammed V, fue arriada la última bandera española, con motivo del traspaso de la soberanía del protectorado español.

This is so beautiful, Jose. Wonderful hues of blue, even in the white walls. It really makes me want to go to Morocco someday.
Ah, and the cat !
Beautiful shot.

Hola Jose, I like the subject and the simplicity of colors. For some strange reasons, I am not too happy with the two doors. It may be possible that the big door with the cat, could it make a wonderful composition. I think that two doors is distracting ...But that is my personal opinion. Buen trabajo
Saludos

Hola José Manuel.
Es una aportación de los días de semana santa?
Has plasmado unos azules preciosos, y una luz fantástica que está presente aunque casi no haya sombras.
Me gusta especialmente la puerta de la derecha, está entreabierta y el gato ahí está genial.
Saludos.

Buenos días JM.
Llena de curiosos detalles arquitectónicos y preciosos colores. Debe se ser una gozada caminar por estas calles.
En estas ocasiones nada como decir:
psssss, pssssss, minino y cuando gire la cabeza... click!

Hola Jose Manuel, Muy bonitos colores y detalles. No hay como perderse en las antiguas ciudades marroquies. Le doy la razon a Jorge, pienso que podrias cortar la foto justo a la izuierda de la caja gris con el numero 681. Saludos

Really cool picture. I like the colour of the door and the light. The fact that one door is a bit open makes the whole picture! To make it even more perfect I would have prefered something more to balance the picture to the left, but it is very good already.
Thanks,
Magnus

Bonita composición José Manuel, sencilla y muy bien compensada, el suave azul, casi verdoso, enmarcado con las blancas paredes da mucha luminosidad a la imagen. Muy bién capturada. El toque negro del gatito, es perfecto, lo del "Pseee pseeee" de Oscar, tiene toda la razón!
Un abrazo desde Barcelona.
PD: por cierto, no habrás estado en Marruecos con "mlu821", tiene una foto de la misma puerta y con el mismo gato!!!

Hi Jose - I like the blue tones and the cat being there, all very nice. I tried to get one with a dog in Tanger, but it moved away just before I got a chance.

Hi Jose. I see you like blue colors and I also see that you've developed your photography a lot since you joined TE. I love your pictures and they all have one thing incommon: great color dept and clearness. Please send me a msg and tell me what post editing program you use and what your big secret is ;). Also I would like to know what camera you use, that coolpix doesn't seem to me to be good enough for pictures like this one! Thanks
