Hello Gert,

Minimalistic but nice reality, perfect dynamic image with the walker on 1/3 of your image.
Lovely architectural picture with the clay wall.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John

Hi Gert,

You have capture well the stroll of the man. The point of view is showing the details of his clothings. There is a good contrast between the colours of the picture. Have a nice day.

Hello Gert,

This was a tough one!
Your main post evokes a scenario - a man on a mission, clothed in strange way, maybe to be recognised by his clothing! It is well composed and minimalistic.

On the other hand, the photograph of the hut, outside the mosque, is much more colourful and has interesting features but doesn't stir the curiosity in the same way!

The photograph of the gate set me wondering how often they repaired it and was it repaired by people who were not so skilled as the original builders!

All are interesting to me, having never been to Mali!

The mosque is one magnificent building, somehow surprising in such an area with minimal building materials!
I could not get the second link to load!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Gert, after reading your notes I went to the pages that show all your shots from Mali, an excellent and informative library.
Your main post today is fascinating, what is the man about? And the background of the mud walls invites us to discover more!
The mosque must be quite unique in its architecture? I have never seen another remotely similar.
Three excellent pictures.
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Jean.

Hej Gert,
Han ser bestemt lidt mystisk ud, ikke kun pε grund af sit tψj, men ogsε mεden som han gεr der med ψjnene rettet mod jorden. Du fangede ham meget godt foran den gamle vζg og i billedets venstre side.

Dear Gert,

All three photos are nice, but I understand your choice: first of all, the man is really mysterious, secondly its a clear and well-considered composition showing us only some details of the mosque.

Best Wishes,
Gy

Hi Gert
Another good trio from Mali with the main one being a brilliantly simple photo of the lone person walking past the mud wall.
cheers

Hello Gert,
Your main picture shows the attractive mud architecture from close by and the passer-by who steps into the picture makes the view much more interesting.
However, I also know that I would never have thought of choosing this photo as the main upload. Certainly not with both fantastic pictures in the WS.
Apparently everything depends on what you want to see in a photo. I read in the comments that many others would make the same choice as you. Consequently, I feel a little weird in my idea about the pictures.
For me, the photo with this man is successful. But in the WS I find two gems of pictures about Djennι :)
Best regards, Paul

Hello Gert,

The guy hare has quite a strange cap and kind of poncho in the colours of the mud architecture. Fantastic views of the mosque in Workshop. All pictures deserve being the main upload. hard decision what to choose.
Best regards MAlgo

Hello Gert,

Together with your excellent note these three images and your previously uploaded other two make a wonderful presentation.

And of all five images, I think your choice of main photograph was just perfect with this solitary figure, pacing determinedly across the frame with no other distraction than a glimpse of the walls of the mosque above the high wall behind him while he is an almost monochrome figure save for his blue hat. Superb!

Of course, the wider views of the mosque are all excellent including that of the ramshackle market stall built about a tree and also the mud-brick archway outside the mosque. All excellent photographs, very well taken and very expertly scanned and presented.

Wonderful!

Kind Regards,

John.
