Tunisian Tapestry, a photo from Tozeur, South

Photographer's Note

I don't know if this is permitted on TrekEarth, but obviously this is not a single shot but a collage. It was created in Photoshop with layers, for a slide show on Tunisia I did a year ago.

very interesting picture. i think collage is allowed and i have seen it before in TE. however, if they were of larger size you could post them individually since they are great each one of them.

I think Adam is fine with collage work. If it allows others to "learn about the world through photography". In this case I have learned that in Tunisia some women have light coloured eyes and look almost Eastern European. Most of those depicted look Central Asian. It is an interesting collage. The image of a young woman and young man below, and their counterparts above, shows a composition that could illustrate the passage of time. The man with the pink flower in his hair... Many symbolic implications ... It is a good image.

I have posted collages before and have never been told it was not acceptable. I like this quite a lot. All the shots have interesting subjects and they all seem well exposed. My only thought is that they all appear a little soft. I think perhaps some sharpening after downsizing each layer would have really helped. I am quite sure however that the originals have lots of sharpness. I like stuff like this, and I am sure you can remember the circumstances of the time when you took each shot. Certainly more than a single story here.

This is really nice. Each shot on its own its worth posting. the collage adds something; different faces of Tunesia.

Dont really have anything to critique. Simply like it ;-)
