Photographer’s Note

Merzouga - Watching the sun rise or set over the sand dunes of Merzouga may be the most spectacular experience you have on your trip to Morocco. The Erg Chebbi, the name of these sand dunes, is said to have some of the highest dunes in Morocco. Indeed, the dunes and the desert wildlife are impressive. Merzouga is an excellent base from which to explore the desert and bird-watchers will be enthralled with what they see. In spring, a lake forms near Merzouga which attracts pink flamingos. Other rare birds stop here during spring migration. The desert is also the year round environment for many desert reptiles and mammals.

Hola my friend, "manito" for ever,
aquí capturaste un bonito, pero duro, momento de la vida de este pueblo, trabajar todo el día bajo este sol abrasador no debe ser muy agradecido.
From mi humilde punto de vista, te diría que creo que hubiese mejorado un poquito mas la composición si no hubieras cogido tanto cielo, ya que la zona con vida queda muy estrecha y demasiado centrada entre la zona de terreno sin vegetación y este cielo tan limpio.
Los campos verdes y las palmeritas le dan un toque alegre al paisaje, capturado muy bien con una luz complicada.
Espero que en Valencia no haga tanto calor como estos días hace por aquí en Barcelona.
Un saludo.
Jaume

Hola Jose

I like the warm cold opposition, between the warm yellow sand, & the pale blue sky. A good daily life shot, of the woman tending her fields. Bravo!

Hi Jose - I really like the blue dress among the dominant orange and green. She is a bit too far though to see much detail, I would prefer a closer view, or perhaps a panoramic with the empty top or bottom cropped off.
