Djemaa el Fna

The restaurants / eating stalls in full swing on the Djemaa el Fna. The exciting hot spot of night time Marrakech.
In a WS I posted a view of the square in daylight.
‘Nuf said about this famous and well documented place. Enjoy :-)

There’ll be a short break ‘cause of a holiday and lots of writing after that. See y’all in about two weeks!

The process: Shot from the first story of the Algana restaurant. The restaurant is directly left of the minaret in the WS pic.

The PCS3 work flow: I altered the saturation, contrast, curves and levels for the whole pic and some elements separately, using different layers, enhanced the edges, USM-ed (a 5 step method), added a frame and resized and did a gentle USM (1,1px, 14%) again on a 50% transparent layer.

The square when the sun rules.
The empty section being cleaned is the space occupied by the restaurants and stalls at night
The restaurant from which the main post was taken is across the square left of the minaret.
