In a street of Marrakech, an old woman buy some fruits. The smoke of a barbecue, the smells of the roasted meat and the spices, the colours of the fruits, the houses,... Coloured life or survival ?

Bonjour Jean,
J'aime beaucoup le contraste de ce contrejour! Au sens propre comme au sens figuré! Ombre et lumière autant dans l'image que dans la vie réelle. L'enseigne affichant "global cash" est un détail qui agit comme un catalyseur ici!
Une scène inspirante très bien rendue! Bravo! Annie

Hello Jean,
congratulation for your fantastic gallery!
This is a great artistic image, I love the woman in silhouette in contrast with the warm background.
Really a super photo.
Have a great Sunday.
Best regards
Giorgio

Salut Jean

Eh bien je pense que c'est de la survie dans un monde coloré...
Large débat.
Excellent thème et photo, l'atmosphère est superbe et décrit bien le quotidien.
Ta photo me fait penser à un livre de Tahar B. Jelloun : la nuit sacrée.
Superbe ! Du beau travail
Amitiés

Nice composition. I like the old lady's silhouette.
It is a lively scene. I can smell the aromas in the air.

Hi Jean...great shot..wonderful feeling of the place with the tones of color and composition..

Roger

this so poetic beautiful shot.is not easy for random street shot but u snap it brilliantly.

Bonjour Jean,

Leur vie est pénible, on ne choisit pas son lieu de naissance malheureusement ni sa famille, on s'oblige de faire avec!!!
Ta photo est superbe de réalisme en incluant cette vielle femme en silhouette tu as choisi de nous montrer la misère dans la lumière d'or de Marrakech!!!
Joli fond d'image façon aquarelle tant la fumée nous voile l'arrière plan de ta composition!!!
Joli travail que je me permets d'ajouter dans mes favoris la misère a aussi ses droits!!!
Merci de ce riche partage
Amicalement
Odile

Hello Jean
Couldn't pass this one up. I personally enjoy how you managed the light here. Basic rule we often for get - expose for the bright. You did and got this wonderful outline of the lady while perserving the detail of the fruit. Bravo

Dan

Thanks for correcting the head - WS is better.

Bonjour Jean,
Et oui, dommage qu'il n'y ait pas les odeurs sur TL !!!
Bien vu, sur le WS elle est encore meilleure, c'est vrai.
Bien à toi
Pascal

Boa tarde jean
You have captured all the warm of Marrakech street life and composed and worked wonderfully.
Love it,
My regards
Teresat

I'm making this a favourite. It's superb. The mystery around the old woman is powerful. The colours in the foreground and background are beautiful. I like the other head - I think this original is superior to the WS version. This person seems to be looking at the old woman - further focussing our attention.

Hi Jean,
Absolument suberbe, I didn't check the workshop yet, but this one looks just fine to me. You've really capture a wonderfull mood in that picture. Wonderfull composition. Great colours and deep silhouette...works well all together. Well seen and executed.

Great compo, nic POV and great mood. TFS

That's amazing, Jean,
I love the atmosphere of that shot, I like the colours, it's wonderful, thanks

Wonderful shot. Your gallery is beautiful !

Another great shot Jean, fantastic! It's really alive!

Wow! Great composition and colors. The person in shadow adds a nice bit of mystery to the photo.

Merveilleux, Jean, comme tu es arrivé à évoquer toute une atmospère à partir d'ombres, de lumières et de couleurs. Tout en étant bien présent, l'avant-plan très sombre conduit automatiquement notre regard vers l'arrière-plan, vers les saveurs et le brouhaha de la ville. Ta photo en devient bien plus qu'une simple expérience visuelle.
Du beau travail, réellement...
Merci du partage & amicalement,
Erik
