Color in History, a photo from Maan, South

Photographer's Note

Although I tried my best, most of the photos of my Jordan Trip are worthless.

"Light was wrong, weather was cloudy, I couldn't consantrate, I was tired..."

This is one of the shots I can manage to salvage. Partial desaturation works sometimes. I hope you like it. I have to say I am undecided...

Camels and their riders/minders are waiting tourists to visit the Monastary at the top of the hill over looking theather.

By the way, if you like to learn about Petra and Jordan, just "google" it. There are lots of stuff to read...

Hi Aysegul,
I am sure you have beautiful valuable images from your Jordanian trip. This is an example. Well-thought composition. My choice would have been to either leave the entire image in its original colour or full B&W conversion.
Regards,
Maria

Hello Rozy
Very nice way of isolating the camels from the rest of the scene by using the black and white around them.

Olá Aysegul

A composição está muito bonita, com as cores focadas nos homens com os camelos e o restante em B&P. Ótima textura também...amei.

Hi Aysegul,
This photo is so nice because of the contrast between the grey rocks and the colourful camels. Thanks for sharing.

Ciao Aysegul,
I have not seen the other photos of your trip to Jordan but this shot is beautiful, thanks also to the pleasant effect of the colored camels in contrast with the background in B&W. Excellent idea, compliments.

Hello Aysegul,
I like this picture because you created a contrast between the colourful bedouins and camels and the grey of the rocks and the theatre.
Although my memories of a long time ago when I visited Petra are that all the rocks and everything that was carved out of it had a beautiful soft red colour.
Regards, Paul
