[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just waiting for the next ride...
As an AD I chose to crop the picture this way because it represents the way of living of the Egyptian people: very colorful and chaotic. Everywhere you look it a mess. Polution is a common thing in daily life in Egypt. What a waste of beautiful country...
I, myself, think the mule has been painted. If you look at her eyes it looks like she is wearing an eyeliner which gives her a very cute feminine look. If not, then these two mules are a miracle of nature. I had to take this picture secretly, because in Egypt the people want money for everything. So if they see you are taken a picture, they come to you to collect money, despite of the fact you are visiting one of the most touristic place of Egypt and taking a picture without nobody on it, is very difficult...

Hoi Anna,
Opzich een leuk tafreel, alleen komt het wel wat romelig over. Het oranje ezeltje is wel een "eye catcher", maar z'n collega staat er wat minder falteus op, allen z'n achterkant en z'n poten. Een nauwere uitsnijding zou hier zeker helpen (zie WS). Ook zijn er verschillende plekken overbelicht. Kortom eeen fijne plaat maar nog wel wat PP sleutel werk te doen.

hi ana:
nice shot.

How interesting Anna.
I think I will have to tell my sister about this one so she can see it too.
I have never heard of a mule with an orange mane. I wonder if it as uncommon as I think.
A nice one to share!

"Colourful and chaotic" Good choice of words. I have heard a lot about Egypt, and I understand what you have written.
Good shot for a sneaky one :) Focus is good, and so is the the paintwork on the donkeys.
TFS / Thanks for sharing

Hoi Esther,
Tsja, ik ben het (deze keer) met "die groene" eens, er valt inderdaad meer eer te behalen met een goede crop. Het is je al voorgedaan in de workshop. De workshop behoudt precies het goede.
De foto is verder erg kleurrijk en prettig van licht. Goed gezien dus, en mooi geregistreerd. Goede note er bij.
Trouwens, misschien wat laat, maar alsnog Welkom op Treklens !!!
groeten,
Joop!
