Love the bright colors on the gentleman's attire. Nicely framed with him looking 'into' the scene. Good contrast and depth of field.

Thanks for the interesting narrative. I sure can see why they would be called Blue Men of the desert. A good portrait on this young man, focused, framed and a hint of the beach. Well done.

Nice shot of this fellow in his blue turban and robes. I've heard of the Tuareg's before but had never seen a photo of one. Handsome guy standing there on the beach with the ocean in the background. A very interesting photo of a unique people group from the deserts of Northern Africa.

Comment from jrconrad
I can just see this in National Geographic! The sharpness, the light on his face, and of course the color. Really great picture--definitely a keeper. Cheers, JR. PS, OK I am a little biased since I'm an anthropologist and would love to go to Morocco.

many thanks Jaime; the focus is much softer than the initial pic:
have a look on Redbubble of my pic "the Kasbah ofTizourgane" and will see that it is much sharper than on FAR, even after uploading again

ok

Fred,
A great picture of this handsome young Tuareg Gentleman in his blue turban & robes over more modern looking attire underneath. Beautifully composition & lighting with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

If I had reread the title I would not had asked that question. Oh well off to bed on this end. Still a wonderful portrait.

Comment from Zilyram
Initial response is WOW how good looking is this guy then I remember I have to review the photo which is an excellent portrait of this man. Love the colours of the turban and robes - lighting and focus are spot on. Thanks for brightening my day :) Mary
