Medersa Ben Youssef, a photo from Marrakech, South

Photographer's Note

I wanted to take a shot without any tourists here. When this local guide showed up, I was even happier, he's the final touch to this picture of this Koran-school.

That's an elegant picture, Rik! I like very much the composition that shows the architecture in all its majesty, a drop of eternity and silence in the heart of a very touristic place. The green of the water combined to the warm browns of the walls is very beautiful; the silhouette of the man in traditional dress is the icing on the cake!
Bravo!
Regards
Marine

I quite like this photo. The composition is wonderful. The man walking off to the upper right, reflected in the pool. I would have also tried a shot lower to the ground.
Cheers!

This is a gorgeous shot, a very nice inside look at Marrakech and different from typical shots. Nice lighting. Only a very minor critique, but I would burn in the floor just a bit. It's not blown out so it would respond well to some PS darkening.
