About the Image(s)
Sony A7III, FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS @ 24mm, f/11, 0.4 sec, ISO 100, on tripod
This old city in an oasis in the middle of the desert at the foot of the Atlas mountain range was made famous by “Game of Thrones.” My wife and I were on a group tour of ethnic textile connoisseurs traveling through Morocco. I skipped the tour that day, hired a driver and spent the day at this place, photographing until sunset.

Nice lighting. The foreground pile of dirt doesn't add to the scene in my opinion. Perhaps a different crop or a different location for the shot would help. Posted: 11/24/2025 19:49:30
From your description this sounds like an interesting city. I wish your image was able to get us closer to the city with less of a foreground. Posted: 11/24/2025 20:17:03
It definitely is a beautiful Photo Travel image. For me, I will crop out the small dirt hill unless you are using it as a foreground, directing the viewer to the ancient city and the mountain.
You might want to crop out the disturbing half-grey satellite disk on the right. Posted: 11/26/2025 23:26:15
