[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this picture in a park in Rabat in front of the Muhammad's mausoleum (their past king). Before going to Morocco, I thought Moroccan people are not really that fun to photograph because their colors are so bland. Brown, white, dark brown, off-white, gray...BUT I WAS WRONG! Just look at their colors in this picture. It's a real splash of colors.

(I added the orange gradient to emphasize the golden cast of the setting sun. I took this picture at around 6:00 pm.)

Beautiful photo!
The range of colours are great. Very well composed with nice sourroundings. The simple sourroundings lays the focus on the people and their colourful clothes.
Very effective!
Impressive work!

Lovley picture Manny. I like the warm colours and especially the colourfull clothes. The picture seem very well balanced too.

Wow, I think it is a beautiful picture, with great composition, excellent background with very colourful people. I love the orange hue. I see this image as a picture exhibiting a sense of joy, unity and peace, probably because of the kids playing in the corner, and the interaction between some of the women.
Well done Manuel.
PS: Hold on to the Nikon Coolpix ;-)

This picture is like a dream - i find no word to describe the colors and tones. Extra compo.

Je suis aussi du Maroc, mais je suis au nord pas très loin de Rabat où cette belle photo est prise. Les femmes au Maroc au week end et exactement le dimanche veulent sortir pour changer la routine. Elles trouvent une superbe place au coeur du capitale.

Pretty photo, the colors salmon of the photograph, very gave a nostalgico air in the photo, mixed the colors of the clothes of the people very pretty.
The photograph in itself is gorgeous. Congratulations for the photograph, perfect

Hi Manny - This shot attracts the (my) eyes because of the warm colours and the silhouette-like appearances of all the subjects against a clear evening sky. Also, there is a clear diagonale from lower LH corner to upper RH corner. Well seen. Thank you for sharing this impression with us.
Cheers
Cordelia

you're very good. i love your shots!
