[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
It is known, the artists begin their training humbly by copying the great Masters. Here a small experiment, after the manner of ISO (a true Master), realized with a photo catch to Gabès in Tunisia, famous for its spices market. The invaluable spices mix with pyramids of henna. This market is a true delight for the eyes.

PP :
- With the clone stamp, elimination of the
details around the baskets
- Copy dark background
- Adjustment curves and contrasts
- Adjustment of the colors
- Resized and framed

Please, tell me what you think!

I like this shot Annie

nice one, M, (*_*)

Très belle composition et superbe traitement de cette image, Annie. Tu commences vraiment à bien maîtriser PhotoShop. J'aime beaucoup ces deux cones d'épices qui créent une belle diagonale. Je trouve toutefois le cadre un peu trop élaboré à mon goût mais je suis assez minimaliste en ce qui concerne les cadres donc c'est juste une préférence personnelle. Bravo!

Belle présentation d'un sujet simple qui avec le traitement que tu en a fait, devient presqu'une oeuvre d'art. L'agencement des couleurs est très agréable, très beau travail...

These look like strange space ships or something, Annie. I like the abstract feel to this. It tantalizes me that these are simply piles of spices!

Superbe ! Quel oeil tu as ! C'est vraiment très beau cette composition, et bien réalisé. Bravo !

Mario

Great image, I like the empty space and it makes you guess for a while what it is.
TFS,
Pedro

Belle composition, Annie! Et un beau travail sur les couleurs: le jaune et le bleu, ça ne trompe jamais! Bravo!

Excellent shot Annie
I love the way the two colors stand out and the way you composed it.
Fantastic shot
Thanks for sharing

superbe !!!
Les couleurs, les détails... tout est bon.
Marie

Hi Annie, nice shot. Well done.

Very beautiful.
Colors and composition.
Congratulation.

First time for me in your very 'feminine' collection and so much good quality to see. I stopped here, as this one is more to my taste, and I am happy to see some hard cropping and resultant brain-exciting composition as a result. What IS this yellow stuff? Henna?? OK - my wife will probably agree with you ;)
Bad News Department:
I'm now in trouble. The office has elevated me to Chief Cook and Bottle-Washer and I am spending a lot of time there and elsewhere in connection with the unwanted job. Thus, after that week off, I don't even have much time left over to catch up at any appreciable rate. I do believe that I will cease posting daily, as every time I put one up, there is more response time to find and more visits/crits to create. Therefore, this one will be the last until I have worked my way through all the outstanding visits I have to make. As a consequence, this part of the reply is a recorded message. Beep.

Very creative work! Lovely colors contrasting very well with the dark BG.
Well done!
Vassilis

P.S. Thank you very much for your kind comments.

Your spices look like details from Boschs paintings. I like the combined green on blue colors against the black background and the DOF. Very creative.

Hi Annie,

Beautiful visual, I adored this
composition, like you said:
a true one delights for the eyes!
Visual, beautiful beautiful colors and details.
Congratulations

Sérgio

An exciting experiment and even more exciting results! Bravo! You have an artistic eye and technical knack to make it all work. Wow. Impressive.

Hello Josine, quelle belle formes geometriques que cette composition. Cela pourrait etre toutes sortes de choses jusqu'a ce qu'on lise ta note.

Belles couleurs jaunes contre le bleu et le fond sombre.

Tres bien realise avec ce close-up.

Bonne journee, Yan :)

I love the rich colors you´ve got in this picture it is sour sour looking I love it
