You are right about the selection. It was probably the orange tones of Tinternaut's shots that pinged my memory of a shot I took many years ago so I dipped into the archives.
When there is an extended horizontal line to work with, I like to use panoramic cropping so again, probably, I was thinking along the same lines with my suggestions for crops on those shots. But it wasn't a conscious process. I was looking for some variation from my recent Egyptian posts.

Superb result with clear and bright lights on flowers and very subtle dark parts create very compelling visual interest. Excellent.
-
Agree that this is a very competent still life of flowers.
Reminiscent of the best product photography (as in advertisements) has to offer. -
This is more than just a photo. It's a love letter to a place and captures the essence of Morocco rather nicely. The framing works well. A later or earlier shot with longer shadows might work better, but such timing is a rare luxury for the itinerant traveller.

This works well as an abstract image on, I'm guessing, a dull day. Monochrome works well here, distilling the elements nicely - grass, water and the reflection of somethig man made?

Not quite minimalist. Not quite abstract. It has an alien quality to it (at risk of stating the obvious - sci-fi film makers love deserts), and everything is in proportion. I like it.

One word: Sublime. Composition is nice and all the technical details on top of that are spot-on. 1/13... Handheld?
-
Thanks :-)
yes, it was handheld. With the IS on the Z7 1/15 is easy. 1/13 also works OK if you hold it steady :-)
