Waiting #2

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 16 October 2007 in People & Portrait.

Another guy in Place Djemaa el Fna, waiting for some work. I was amazed that these guys could doze off, given both the constant noise around the square and the stifling heat. I suppose it's one way of passing the time!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Hercules from Jacksonville, United States

I like the commonality of lines as they play the geometry of the carts, It hard to sense it's a hot day. I'm enjoying the overall feel.

@Hercules: It was overcast, but still stiflingly hot. The weather broke later that day and the sun came out! Thanks for your comment!
