Challenge:Decisions (Basic Editing III) Camera:Nikon D70 Location: House in the countryside, Marrakech, Morocco Date: May 31, 2005 Aperture: 6.7 ISO: 200 Shutter: 1/500 Galleries:Architecture, Travel Date Uploaded: May 31, 2005
A very interesting photograph and one of my favorites in the challenge. I really like the composition, the beatiful colours and texture. The image has a strong surreal look to it and I find the tension between the objects above the door on the left and the melons very interesting.
I was visiting a farm 20km east of Marrakech and the "spa" room (yes they had an in house hammam) had this outside room with multiple doors, I toke the side that had the tree to added more to the image. Yes with a deep blue sky it would have been better.
Interesting scene, but what a wierd combo of elements! You sure this wasn't intended for Surrealism? I'd love to see the same shot with dramatic side lighting and a deep blue sky.
I found the bright sky to be a bit of a distraction and would have perhaps cropped it out. I'm not sure how the water melons fits in, but for some strange reason it works - they add character and a splash of colour. Overall, a very nice entry.
Oh, I do like this picture. It has a really neat mood to it. Good job of cropping (or lack of it), the top of the building is a necessary inclusion to finish the picture, and including the entire tree is good (would have looked a little weird chopped off). The fading paint makes for beautiful coloring on the wall. Why the watermelons? (I like that this picture makes me question)
I like this, nice textures on the walls and door and I like how you've composed this. I don't know why there're watermelons on the floor but this could easily have been entered (and done quite well) in the surrealism challenge.
LOVE the colors in this photo. They are not too strong, somewhat muted, but it works perfectly for the photo and the feeling! I love the door colors.. I wonder what's on the otherside of each of them. Can you tell me before I pick one? ;)
breathtaking, perfect comp, colors....the fruit, symbolic for sexural sin or desire...door to the right could lead to lust and sin....hmmmm, deep I love it...10
