yellow skins Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is another photo taken at the tannery in Fez. These skins have been dyed yellow and laid in the sun to dry. A lot of Moroccan men wear bright yellow slippers made out of this leather. The day after I took this photo I accidentally stumbled into a courtyard where a lot of men were busy sewing up the shoes with this yellow leather so I got to see both sides of the shoe production. I wish I had taken a photo of a man wearing these yellow slippers. They're really blindingly bright!

Nice shot Emily! Very interesting information. I've seen a couple shows where they feature the tanneries. Apparently the smell is VERY strong... Did you find this?
I'd like to visit Fez one day, and I will go to the tanneries regardless of the smell! hahhahaa

Cheers Emily!

This a pretty good image. it could have been better to me if you had left in a bit more of the green to make a stronger diagonal composition. As it is it's nice though.. Lovely colors..
Have a nice WE

Very very good! Colours, composition -- even the qulaity looks pretty good here. I wanted to say something about the green too: I was going to say crop it so that the green ends in a triangle on the left side (i.e. crop more off the bottom) but then I see Claude said the opposite! Personally I would defer to him!
