excellent composition and the way you cut the frame outs in the pictures personally favorite is from the top 2nd row all the way to the right. this was a great idea like a travel brochere!

Like a puzzle, I like very much that you varied images divided into single, double horizontal and double vertical frames, specially the one in the centre and lower right hand side. This variation increases interest in the whole image composition.

Personnally I'm not a fan of text on photos, even though I understand this is for a pretended postcard purpose. I'll have my postcard without text, on the rocks, shaken not stirred pls.

Very effective Manny, I think this looks great. In my opinion, the only thing I wish was different is that in the center photo the guy's head is cut in two, which I wish it wasn't. Perhaps the boy on the left too, where he is cut across his jaw, but that one doesn't bother me as much. Good shots here Manny.

Excellent presentation and composition, this is great work Manuel, I think my favorite would be the bottom right picture, IMHO it reflects Morocco as I have come to know it, although every slice of Morrocan life here is impeccably captured and framed with utmost care and precision.
Well done and keep it up.

Your picture has a wonderful sense of community to it's presentation. How do you slice these images?

I like the presentation, Manny - at times you really need to be less harsh to yourself ;-) It's a wonderful collection of scenes, and I like how some of the squares have their own scene while other scenes extend across more than one square in either horizontal or vertical direction. Again this gives me an idea for something I want to try some day, thanks!

Hi Manny, If I was in Morocco, this would shurely be the postcard I should send to family and friends! Very good, very nice framing. Really beautiful.

Oh very lovely way to split up several fine shot with equal frames - very lovely captures each - I can reconize one from TE - thanks for sharing this fine work Manuel.

Simply beautiful poster/affiche looking picture! It's a great collection Manuel, well chosen to represent your feeling about Marocco.

I only wish you had combined small squares frames with rectangular ones to avoid the cutting on people. And it looks like you made some small mistakes in the added frame around it, it disturbs the eyes a little...

Absolutely great ! Almost each of the picture is a piece of Art by itself and the way you split them make it quite funny to interpret.

I don't like very much the top text still.

very lovely Manny..I must go back to TE and see the ones I haven't seen...I liked this way of slicing pşctures very much..as others wrote, it increases attention..

Very professional poster, I can imagine it is hard to realize but it's very pleasant to look at each small square. I like the idea of mixing horiz/vert pictures in adjacent squares, bravo!

I have only just discovered this one Manny, and I am greatly surprised. This is a very good collage with a very fitting title. Each photo depicting a part of Marrakech and then sliced into portions which leads the eye to study each section. Very nice. The layout is also very, very good. My favourite photo is the man clutching his hands with the ladder at the side of him.

interesting blend,...framing, yes some progress is there, that is why you feel (now) it is crude,...but you where on the learning curve,...it may not be sophisticated like your later works yet I feel it is rather unique in its own way, no point of discussing on taste, someone may love this.
tfs.
