MARRAKESH. (PLEASE VIEW LARGER).

Beautiful picture. Nice processing.

I am at a loss to comment on it . I am definitely not rating it as I don't know how to rate it. Originality 10, Aesthetics -  It is so attractive, the composition is very good, - yet I'm not sure if I like it or not. The larger view reveals unbelievable details. This is like an immensely rich child's doll town, or doll market place - fairy land kind of thing. I have been looking  on and on at it for quite some time ............ No this is not about naturalness of post processing, I suppose my eyes get a bit tired in this whirlpool of colors.

And yes I think it gradually grows in me-  I will look at it for some time more. Best wishes.

I appreciate  your visit and your comment.

Jayanti this is probably the best comment on this picture...as I am sure it had the same effect on many people. My best regards ds.

To my eye it is a perfectly acceptable and stunning interpretation of the exotic place.

Such an endorcement and coming from such a well travelled person....thank you Sir!

Excellent image,a place I will go sooner or later,excellent composition.

Thank you Birte. (We stayed in the old town. It has a lot more character).

A very beautiful and original production...Bravo!

Thank you very much my friend. Wishing you all the best.

Hi Dimitri, if I attempt to compare this submission with something, nothing would look closer than magnified crystals backlit and cross-polarised. The random arrangement of the lilliput people in the bazaar area accentuates this feeling your image created in me.I particularly like the sense of depth owed mostly to the high pov. All in all, an effort that oozes originality and class. Compliments and reagrds, Chris

Thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful comment. I am really glad that you like it. Na eisai kala.

Original and creative...my congrats!!!

Yianni, na sai panta kala file mou!

apart from being a great shot in its original state (based on subject matter and wide angle capture) your editing work has made this original and unique Dimitri

Art thank you my friend! A word spings to mind: Megalitor...Thank you again. -ds-

I clicked on your details hoping to discover what technique you used for this extraordinary shot.  I haven't seen anything like it.....it's quite psychedelic looking.  It looks much like this:

Bravo on this creative masterpiece!

Great image.  So much detail ! And  your choice of processing has rendered a most effective image.  Congrats, very impressive. Most Sincerely, Gail

Christal I am sorry that my house keeping is rudimentary...this was done by the use of layers and layer styles in PS. Obviously not every picture is suitable for this treatment. Thanks for your visit and comment. (I have looked at the URL you kindly posted...talk about phychedelic !).

Gail thank you. I appreciate your comment very much.

Excellent art work Dimitris!Its so creative and unusual.Bravo! 7/7

Kind regards Sadegh
