    Mashmoum

          3

    The little flower you see is a so called "Machmoum". This kind of

    bouquet consist of many single very fresh closed petals from the

    yasmine bush. Every single petal is put on a little stick and the so

    created "stems" are tied up then with a little tread. Another thread

    keeps the petals on top together. This tread will be removed in the

    evening to enable the petals to flourish. Only then the mashmoum

    develops the strong infatuated scent. This is a typical Tunesian

    tradition. IN the past only men wear this little "bouquet" behind an

    ear. Nowadays you see also young girls with a machmoum. And of course

    are machmouns also loved by tourist.

    A new life

    I like the soft flow of the lines and the shades of gray. I think I would maybe crop a tad from the top. But I have seen in your portfolio that all your pictures have the same size.
