Nice composition, although the radio tower is not very sexy in it.
But in PP you could add a bit more contrast and maybe some more vividness to the colours i.m.o.

Hi Brendan,

Although I agree with both remarks posted earlier, I still think this very untypical shot (within your gallery) merits to be posted here.

Glad to read the mountains didn't object to you taking their picture ;-)

Cheers.
Benny

Brendan: interesting, I actually like the inclusion of almost anachronistic features like radio towers along with mosque minarets in images such as this. Details and tonal range are tops. green day. c

aaaaaa-ha-ha-ha-haa!!!
I like your geographical description, Brendan!
Wherever it was, the lower part is nicely composed with
rolling hills leading us up the high mountains with peaks
covered in snow.
People mention "the tower"... I don't mind it at all and
don't understand the logic behind not including it
once it's there... those who claim that they know better
will suggest cloning it out, and I would say to them: "I
simply don't agree, as these masts are so common that
are part of the landscape."
Cheers,
Robi

Hi Brendan,

Hahaha, I see your name and 'Morocco' and think about your endeavours and stories of other photographers. And I'm immediately wondering; How much did he have to pay the goat's herders to take this photograph? :-)
Hahaha, it's only after writing this that I have read your note. Oh, this is so funny.

Nice. I like how low much sky you have included here. There is just enough foreground and enough to see in it to tell the story. It does not always have to be sexy or busy or with saturated colours. I really like it as is!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hello Brendan,

This is really rich and wonderful view with cloudy, snowy mountains, valley, city textures. I like contrasts between rust colored ridges and green surround a lot with your perfect chose of untouched, natural colors of course. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Very unique and beautiful scenery!!!! This is the first I have seen of that part of the world so I find the landscape very interesting. An excellent image! TFS

Hi Brendan,
I like the misty sort of atmosphere over the mountains. The building scattered in the desolate landscape are nice details, and your vertical format works well. Also I like the contrast between the two towers (the minaret and the radio tower).
I am planning to go to Morocco in September, did you find it a nice place to visit?
I have looked through your gallery and you have a great style and a good eye.
Regards
Wanda

Hello Brendan,
I like the break from the 'norm'. I can't see a skate park or a tube or the name of a street, nor a busy man. :)

There is so much distance in your shot, a place isolated. It looks very natural, that's my feeling. Thanks..

Casper
