Last few for a while as I'm getting bored of these too!!!

We took a 4 hours drive through the Western Sahara to get to the Atlantic Coast - this old fishing town is Essouira and is famous for its white buildings with blue shutters. Unfortunately i was majorly hungover and not really in the mood. However, on the way back we came across a baby camel - 14 days old and oh so cute :)

Don't get bored with 'em - leave 'em alone until you feel like doing them. ;)

Nice shots! Not surprisingly I like the seagull - the offset position in the frame really suits that outstretched wing. It'll stand some sharpening though? :)

Thanks CT - you're right :)

A little USM is probably in order - my standard approach was a little heavy so it's only had minimal play :|

Great pics here...the power in the waves in #1 is good; the fisherman in #3 could do with a "catch" photoshopped in (;) ). The last is pure magic!

This is one location now on my list of places to visit when I retire.

No2 is a excellent capture, as Cedric says, the framing is spot on.

No3 is almost a comedy moment - one of those "what happened next" things. I can just imagine the line snapping and him going a over t backwards :lol:

Love No4, the perspective just goes on forever into the distance. Excellent shot, really sharp with lovely rich colours

No5 is very cute, with the guy with his arm round your shoulder ;)

Great set Mr Reb - more please!
