....in the centre of the town the square where families meet - despite being so close to the Sahara Desert Ouarzazate is quite cold in the evenings in November, so there are few people around. As you can see this was a slow exposure - I rested my camera on a wall and took the photograph - a few people walked in front of the camera but they have completed disappeared because of the slow exposure - I am a magician! lol! I hope it doesn't hurt your eyes - I increased the tone and saturation in camera, but decided I liked it so left it as shot.

Lovely shot, Patti. A bit too heavy on the reds and yellows for me, though. Maybe a tad of reduction in the hue/sat tool in each channel?

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
For me the color is perfect. Too each his own right!
Beautiful and the vivid color just makes this all that more interesting in my book. Great job Patti. =^..^= sandi ♪

Got this in the VB and just had to comment. This is such a departure from your regular style! A very surrealistic image, you really can't tell if it's real or computer generated. I applaud your explorations.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
I like the way the blues and reds play off of each other. The three people near center add story to the picture. I also like the shine coming off of the ground.

Looks like two suns fighting for equal time. It really gives an immuminating effect to the square. Nice experiment Patti.

Although you gave us a pronunciation lesson Patti, I have still difficulties to pronounce Ouarz...., lol. Have far less 'difficulties' with your image as it's a perfect one!
Thanks for sharing!

Cornelius was here to enjoy your image. Please click HERE to see his work!
Patti, this certainly has immediate impact. That dramatic sky and the two giant flood lights give a slightly sinister feeling to the image but this is mollified immediately by the red/orange light. It's a great atmospheric shot taken in difficult conditions.

The truth is, you really should see My Gallery.
A perfect 10 shot for me...VB 10/10. If the saturated colors are on purpose...even cooler! Kudos on an excellent shot!!!

BRILLIANT capture Patti. Such fabulous colours & great texture in the stone walk.

Snow Storms finally stopped and we got 8 inches, pooh.
You've proven once again your true artist standing, my friend. I'm really enjoying this venture of yours.

Fantastic image that has a very surrealistic look! Hope to get this purrrfect image in the VB! 10/10 if I do.

I really love the perspective and the feel to this shot Patti!
The patterns and glow of the empty space in the forground along with the two lights and the sky make a wonderful atmosphere. Great work!

What a great idea for capturing the square. Love the way the lights have turned into stars with the slow exposure, and I think you're right about the saturation - it looks good left very rich. You didn't manage to make all the people disappaear thank goodness - I'd have been scared to come out with you again if you had! Nice work Mrs Merlin.
