Ait Ben-Haddou

I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.
- Diane Arbus

Feeling a bit experimental so decided to a X-Process. This is
Ait Ben-Haddou taken from very very far away.

Photo Editing: Crop, Cross Processing, Curves in Photoshop.

Loving the PP! And the quote smile I think I might steal it haha
Samarth: Thanks Mia...go ahead, by all means...
I have seen so many of the movies filmed here. Cool to see that this place really exists and is not just a movie set. Incredible.

I like the cross Processing, but wish the surrounding mountains were separated from the architecture a little bit.
Samarth: Thanks a lot John...

I like it when you get all weird master! Malwalker
Samarth: love the feeling...awaiting your return malwalker...
Interesting experiment Sam, I think it has worked the aquamarine sky quite fits the scene.
Samarth: Thanks Alistair...the problem with experiments is that you never really know if theyve worked or not, they just stay experiments...
Nice one ! Maybe a bit too much accentuated but nice anyway wink
Samarth: thanks nicolas...
nice overview of the city
Samarth: Thanks chantal...
Striking, very striking young master and I think I might lift that quote as well. wink

with some of the colour you see there in reality, it's hard to tell if this was X-processed or not! good shot though
Samarth: lol, quite true actually...

Lovely, my favorite colors burn my eyes. Just like spicy food-it burns your mouth but you cannot stop chewing it.
Samarth: lol, nice analogy...
Very striking color, nice one Sam!

Naah... d colour doesnt suit me. But i do love d shot. Especially those mountains in at d top wid d clouds. Those really look gud.
Samarth: colour is a bit wacky but yeah, i really like the shot too...
Not sure...maybe too vivid. The color distracts me from the scene itself.
Samarth: get what you mean...in a way i was hoping the colour would make the scene...
This is really nice. Though I do agree with Laurie, rather too vivid.
Samarth: hanks deji...maybe i shudve deaturated it a bit...
