Morocco 2007 - Marrakech and Essaouira

Short trip to Morocco in Feb of 2007. Spent four days wandering around Marrakech, one day visiting Ourika Valley and one day in Essaouira.
Thanks again to Phil Douglis http://www.pbase.com/pnd1) for his invaluable advise for editing this gallery.

I like most of the pictures - beautiful composition - colour and sensitivity. Maybe your photography deserves a better camera - at least an entry level DSLR ( Say Cannon 1000D or better or Nikon D80 or better) and 50mm + 28 mm + 200 mm prime lens set.

Great gallery of a very interesting country ...!!

Good edit, Mo -- you are down to 65 -- your most ambitious job of trimming to date. Less here has truly become more.
Phil Douglis 04-Mar-2007 03:45
Certainly your most expressive gallery to date, Mo. Not in terms of quantity, but in terms of the quality of the 21 images I have selected here for you -- if you can limit it to these 21, you will have a tremendously substantive and coherent gallery. As for the others, they are either descriptive illustration, or are technically or aesthetically flawed, or else they are redundant -- saying the same thing that has been better said elsewhere. In the end, you will make the final edit, but in this case, less definitely will be more. The 21 images I noted are in a class by themselves.
