~ tired out ~, a photo from Fes, North

Photographer's Note

A little bit of street life and a working donkey which was very much part of the scene in the amazing labyrinth of narrow almost impassable alleys of chaotic Fez medina. Amazing crowded place to visit and learn the history of how people lived back in the 13th centuries. There may be smells, there were beggars and hawkers at every turn, loud, rambunctious, and unordered, donkeys and assess carrying goods and every sort of item for sale.

But it's that very chaos that makes this place so lively, an authentic insight into Morocco, its people, culture and way of life.

A snapshot on the fly amongst the frenzied crowd who were in constant movement and I only had one quick opportunity, this was the result.

Hello Abmdsudi,
Some of these donkeys do not have very pleasant lives though this one seems well cared for. He sits well against the nicely textured background. Interesting and attractive street portrait very well realised.

Bonjour, cher Abmdsudi,
Difficile de ne pas tomber sous le charme de cette prise de vue.
Malgré ses 17 ans passés, la composition est toujours aussi belle à regarder.
Amitiés.

Bonjour Abmdsudi,

Quelle belle photo. Le petit âne semble en pénitence très triste , supportant sa charge en attendant son maître. Le cadrage est beau ainsi que les textures en arrière plan.

Amicalement

Hello Abmdsudi

a donkey parked in a small street? I can imagine the smells and voices as you described them. Nice street life picture. Greetings

Hi Abmdsudi,

A good shot of the black donkey saddled up with a load of blankets. I saw a similar scene in Marrakesh. Good color and sharpness. Tfs!

Dobar dan.
Lep pogled, interesantan tekst ...
Lepo pokazano, dobar kontrast i ostrina, lepe boje, lepo uhvacen trenutak. Magarac je dobar i pouzdan u svom radu, moze mnogo da ponese i prodje gde drugi ne mogu.
Zelim vam lep dan za odmor, sve najbolje.
Paja.

Hi Abmdsudi
This photo shows off your skills as it doesn't reflect any of the aspects of the hectic life around you talk about in the note. It looks as if it were taken in a quiet corner of some remote town.
It's full of detail and has iconic qualities. The kind of shot no one else has ever taken.
Best wishes
Kasia

A great photo of this donkey waiting in this small street, the background is wonderful with some appealing colours and beautiful textures and decorations on the walls. Good sharpness and lighting.
