Hi Javier
You get a very nice light in this lane. The woman is perfect to give the human touch. Amazing colors and light.
I am surprise, it really look like the old city of Zanzibar.
Well done

Hi Javier,
You bring the atmosphere of the narrow streets of the medina well through your photograph, almost as if we are walking there. Nice colours and the lady is an esssential element here.
Regards
Wanda

Hi Javier,
A very interesting town where i was 4 years ago. Old, full with traditions, but on some places also very narrow which you show here excellent. Not only the old door and the yellow wall, but the woman passing by shows great timing and a very good eye in the composition.
Good piece of work, a nice reminder to this beautiful town...
Regards, Henk

Wonderful shot Javier! That wide angle is just perfect in these narrow streets. The tilt adds to the dynamism of the image but it also gives us the false impression that his lady is being "followed". This gives it another feel altogether.
Really good work

All the best
Steve

ps: did a little workshop on it just for fun

Salut Javier,

Tout a fait d accord avec toi, Meknes est une ville a decouvrir, un peu masquée derriere le succes de Fes et Marrackech.
Tres belle photo ici, par le cadrage un peu basculé qui donne du dynamisme a l image.
La presence de la femme apporte beaucoup aussi en bleue sur fond jaune. J aurais prefere la voir entierement, mais soyons honnete, juste un bout de sac est caché et ca donne une sorte de fuite qui donne de la vie a la scene.

Une photo qui donne vraiment envi de decouvrir cette ville,

Yves.

Great lens choice....the viewer feels like they are following the woman directly through the image.
Cheers!

Y en el inclinación está la clave... Hay muchos elementos que hacen atractiva esta imagen: La mujer, los colores, la luz en forma de claridad, la puerta, la farola... Pero todo toma mucha más fuerza gracias a la pequeña inclinación del cuadro. Buen ojo, compañero.

Ola Javier,

I like the high pov, it creates the effect of being inside a maze, which - of course - suits your subject. Lovely colours too and the strong presence of the door is another big plus here. A great scene, well captured.

Nicely done Javier. The woman in blue compliments the yellow and brown walls. The angle gives an inetresting POV.

Hola Javier
Muy bonita composicion, has capturado muy bien el angulo y la personalidad de la calle, la mujer con su velo azul proponen un buen contraste contra los muros.
UN saludo

Mystérieuse et dynamique. Ton point de vue invite à suivre la femme dans ces dédales aux magnifiques couleurs. J'aime beaucoup!

hola javier... i guess this is the first time i ve visited your gallery here -also the one in holik, i have a small one there too- and i am impressed... you are very good in street photography, your daily life shots are really cool... this one is one of the best from your morocco series... clostrophobic and so dynamic with the tilt... makes me feel like i am in a movie, and i am following that lady for some reason... love it a lot, my compliments...
