Blue door, white house, a photo from Tangier, North

Photographer's Note

Just a door of a house in the kasbah of Tangier. This part of the town, surrounded by old walls, is located on on of the hills overlooking the harbor and it is where a kind of old atmosphere is still felt on the air, on the houses and on the narrow labyrinthic streets.

Location (latitude, longitude): 35.78898,-5.81389

This one definitely caught my eye! I love the bold blue agaisnt the white. This is a hard thing to photograph because there are so many vertical lines which makes it hard to get the image straight. I tried to play with it in a workshop, but ultimately I decided that your version was best. It doesn't have to be perfectly straight anyway! Nice job- I was surprised it was yours though- not your typical style in my opinion. Great job nonetheless!

Hi Jos�,

Wonderful tone .. the colors feel Greek to me .. the intricate design against the simple palette is really effective .. doors always feel thoughtful to me .. like it a great deal.

take care,

John

Ol� Jos�!
Parece que voc� e a Ana combinaram de postar fotos de portas antigas! Muito boa sua foto, como comentei na dela, achei interessante esses numeros, s鉶 iguais aos que temos na marca玢o de numeros de casas e nomes de ruas aqui no Brasil!
Parab閚s e Abra鏾!

Ol� Jos�,
Interessante esta foto de uma porta num beco de entrada. Parece um cofre forte bem trancafiado, blindado. E barras de ferro acima.
H� sinais de vida, no entanto.
Como observou o John, portas sempre d鉶 o que pensar...
A nitidez est� excelente, quase d� para fazer a leitura do consumo de luz.
Abra鏾,
Maria do Carmo

Hi Jose,
Doors, one of my favourite subjects. I am sure as in Tunisia that Morocco has some beautiful ones. I like the simple only two tones in this shot the blue and the white. Lovely detail on the door and a good composition including a bit of space on either side and the top.
Regards
Wanda

Bonitas cores e bonita simetria dentro da assimetria do local. A decora玢o da porta � no m韓imo aquilo que podemos chamar curiosa. Muito bem.

Les rues marocianes t'etrainent dans un syle different au hazrd des decouvertes que tu fais dans les rues. Mon oeil est egalement saisi par cette porte avec toutes ces dcorations metalliques qui lui donne un air d'un autre temps. une belle prise.

Ol� Jos�
Est� interessante, mas eu talvez cortasse um pouco em cima.
Para uma cidade azul, na pr髕ima vez em Marrocos vai a Chefchaouen (eu nunca fui).

Very striking image. It leaps out at you even from the thumbnail. All the white studs on the door create a wonderful graphic effect. Well spotted.

Ol� Jos�,
The cobalt blue of the door, and the white circules evoke a binary code of some type. Very good eye; simple but effective composition,

um abra鏾,

Merhaba Jose, my friend...
What a beautiful brilliant blue... The light and the sharpness are perfect... Also perfect details... Especially the texture of the wooden door is wonderful... The contrast of the blue and the white is wonderful too...
TFS...
Stay well..
Salim.

Hi Jose,

a dream in blue and white! You could have cropped the grey foreground, however. Nevertheless, wonderful composition, wonderful colors!

Hi Jose

Interesting door you have found here. Great colors and contrasts, very sharp. Nice view of the local architecture. Well done.

Knock, knock on your door, Jose. A quite sucessfull shot despite the simplicity of your composition. The colors work very good and you got a good opportunity not having any direct sunlight interfering with your image. What about planting some green on the two sides?
TFS, Peter

� um espect醕ulo andar nestas ruelas serpenteantes, caiadas de branco e ir encontrando estes belos pormenores arquitect髇icos. Cada um da sua cor e forma, cada esquina uma surpresa nova. Boa escolha deste para nos mostrares, Jos�. At� aquilo que � suposto ser feio, fica bem, quando limpo e pintado a condizer com o conjunto.
Um abra鏾,
ricardo

Bonjour Jos�!
Cette photo toute simple est du plus bel effet avec ses deux couleurs, et la d閏oration sobre
de la porte.
Il ne manque que quelques fleurs dans les bacs destin閟 � cela, je suppose? mais cela, tu n'y pouvais rien.
Merci pour le partage!
Marie Louise.
