Jardin Majorelle Photo

Photographer’s Note

It took us 5 hours drive from Agadir to Marrakech…what a shock it was, after all the desert of Morocco to arrive in such a colourful and green garden. Immediately all the tiredness of the travel was gone.

This shot is the best one I took there, showing the vital ingredients that create this place: typical Majorelle blue colour of the buildings, lash of green, which is present everywhere you look and a hint of Moroccan architecture.

Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Tokina 12-24 mm F4 ATX Pro set at 24mm
Aperture: F8
Shutter Speed: 1/30 sec
ISO: 100
Other: handheld, no filtration, little crop.

Hi Juraj,
I like the composition/framing, the brilliant, glowing colors, and (as usual) the light. The inclusion of the puddle on the tiled floor is also a great element. However, something strikes me as being a bit off in this photo, and I think it's the depth of field. IMO, it should extend farther to include the length of the garden in focus. Am I not seeing this correctly? Is is actually in focus and just a bit busy?
Anyway, you get the medium green smiley with the small grin :)
