[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Bazaar of Erbil city ( in Kurdish 'Hawler') last Thursday night.

Erbil is the capital city of the Kurdish territory in Northern Iraq.

This photo, and the following of my series are meant to show you there is more to Iraq then guns, war and terrorism. It isalso acountry of millions of innocent people like you and me, trying to make a better life for themselves under extremely difficult circumstances.

The Erbil bazaar is full of life and friendly people. just go and see for yourself

ISO 1600
PP also in Neatimage to get rid of the noise

Bonjour Jan.
Très bonne exposition pour cette photo nocturne.
Les couleurs et les contrastes sont restés parfaits.
La netteté montre aussi de bons détails.
Bon dimanche.

Great colors and atmosphere. Like it should all time in Iraq. Quite a high ISO number, though. I guess that the reason for using Neat Image. Anyway, superb night shot!

Hi Jan,
tricky exposure - with a variety of light sources has been very well managed.
Best regards, Daniel

Prachtige kleuren en een mooie compo.
