Salut Jean,
J'aime beaucoup ton cadrage du Cape Canaveral Maroccain, dommage que la lumiere soit un peu timide.. 5... 4... 3...2 ... 1... inch Allah, lift off ;-)
Bon week end jY

kiks (12805) 2009-05-15 13:54

I realy like the way you use the roof of the building at the fg to frame the minaret. Th result is a very original composition with a intersting perspective.
Best regards

Bonsoir Jeai,
Effectivement, c'est tr鑚 impressionnant! Mais quel POV de ta part avec cette composition toute en triangles.
C'est une parfaite r饌lisation
Bravo,

En voyant cette mosqu馥, je pense imm馘iatement � la Mosqu馥 de Paris en grande partie r饌lis馥 par des artisans marocains (rien � voir dans la taille, mais beaucoup dans les couleurs).

Bonsoir Jean,

Ce minaret est impressionnant. La prise de vye du bas vers le haut donne de ls perspective � la photo. L'image est claire et nette. La charpente du haut cadre bien le minaret et a un bel effet sur la composition. La bonne luminosit� met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soir馥.

Bonjour Jean,
il fallait avoir l'oeil pour un tel POV et cadrage, on dirait que ces deux 馘ifices sont faits pour s'emboiter. C'est d'une graphisme et d'une propret� irr駱rochables.
Excllent week-end.
Daniel.

Hello Jean,
I realy like this original composition. Althoug the idea is very simple it is not easy to get the DOF right. But you did it perfectly. Excellent concept, definition and execution. Great point of view, it seems to go into infinity. Congratulations!

J'aime beaucoup le "c�" graphique de ta photo et le ciel, au d馮rad� uniforme, 騁ait l� pour y participer.... au point que je me suis demand� s'il 騁ait vraiment "naturel" ;)

Bon dimanche

Bonsoir Jean,

Il fallit le trouver cet angle de vue... Vraiment tr鑚 impressionnant avec en plus le cadrage qui inclut le d馗oupege tr鑚 g駮mt駻ique � l'avant-plan. Vraiment une r騏ssite avec en prime une perfecetion technique.
Bonne soir馥,

Bonsoir Jean,

ton reflexe pour le motif se valorise au Maroc. C'est une exibition visuelle que tu realises tout en passant Casablanca. Le tres bon resultat pour un touriste qui ne sait pas ou tourner la tete d'abord. Je souligne ta realisation graphique. Mes compliments et amities,

Hello Jean Saint!
The most I like is the balance and the sense of proportion. Ideal is also the chosen point of view and the sharpness.

Bonsoir Jean,

Angle de vue bien original et visuellement parfaitement n馮oci�... J'appr馗ie beaucoup la sym騁rie qui met bien en valeur ce minaret impressionnant qui semble s'imbriquer au petit poil dans l'autre partie du b穰iment. Beau et int駻essant coup d'oeil Jean, bravo.

Avec toutes mes amiti駸 et une tr鑚 bonne soir馥,

Hi Jean, A really great photo & the symmetry is excellent, I love the composition with your POV looking up, it's a beautiful piece of architecture with very good light drawing out some detail, kind regards Wilson.

Disabled_A (0) 2009-05-22 11:56

Hello Jean,
this is really impressive! I very much like the POV which you chose: these two "pieces" fit into each other like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle! (it seems that you just move them a bit closer together... and they will be one whole thing)
The minaret is 200 meters high?? Incredible!!
Very interesting, indeed!
Best regards,
Elena

The view angle is very good, as well as the light. Usually it's difficult to show the height of the building, but with such frame on the forground the perspective is just perfect. Somewhat looks like puzzle. Great picture!

Salut Jean,

Perfect choice of the vertical format for this photo. The natural shapes of the architecture combined with the one created using the sky is superb and very eye catching. I really like he simplistic nature of this image, you've managed to create a unique look from minimal subjects. Bien fait!

Ciao,

Bonjour Jean,
it seems everyone visited different destinations in Morocco. I have never been there but I checked other people's galleries and not many have been to Casablanca.
Brilliant composition here. The resulting geometry is so eye catching. Everything fits perfectly.
Excellent work,
