supergold - I guess it is true sometimes we are better off not knowing to much.

Camera technique is optimal.

DOF, composition and framing all compliment the the take well.

Angle of the shot shows the action completely.

An excellent street scene ... B-)) Bob

LOL - Not the only place in this world offering up such grand preparation. Great moment. You still have me laughing... Fabulous technical skill in this one, the colors are wonderfully natural and rich. Great lighting as well. Perfect focus as well. It is the story that captures me grandly! :-)) Thanks for sharing.

Comment from nikman


Yes, I see what you mean! Do the local authorities know this is going on? Your fine central composition gives us a good luck at this quite unsavoury scene. Your image is sharp and well exposed. Nice work!

A great snapshot of another cultures ways of life - if we saw this in England the police & health & safety called straight away and there would be real trouble!! a well timed, well lit natural picture, with great clarity & interesting story. Great photo.

While you did a good job with this photo, I prefer to not look directly at them cutting up the fish lol. Your focus, framing, and lighting are all good. Well done and thanks for sharing :)

Nice journalistic shot fred and could have used b/w to give it that journalistic feel,hope you took some more here,i do like eating fish abroad but this might change a persons mind seeing this,by the way did you know that essaouira was used in the sixties by the likes of cat stevens/jimi Hendrix as it was a hippy type place in the sixties...brian

    also maria callas, bob marley, cat Stevens, paul simon: a lot of people visited because there is a famous local festival;
    many hotels and restaurants claim they had them as guests....
    many thanks brian

Comment from michiganmike


Perhaps not the most photogenic situation, but somebody has got to clean the fish. Very nice colors and excellent, although not too appetizing, details.
