    Neil, the moon is lovely and the image has a nostalgic look to it. However, the image otherwise doesn't do very much for me. I've definitely seen better from you. ne_nau.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Now, you didn't have to take my comment about finding more nits seriously, Mahesh! :D:D:D

    Yes, not a very interesting shot as far as the stuff in it goes, but I challenge anyone to get an "interesting" shot of the Casablanca skyline!

    The whole city is grey-white-stained, and yet there is definitely something alive inside all that. This shot captures something of the extreme drabness, and hints of "inner fire" in some of the windows, corners and facades.

    Not to take away from your observation. I promise to try harder!mwink.gif

    I'd use the word "great" with more caution!deal.gif

    BTW as you know I've been traveling, so give me a while to catch up with the posts.

    Now, there's just something so compelling about this image to me, Neil. Maybe it's the bright moon, colorful tones in the sky, the ominous darkness in all the windows and the word "Casablanca" in the title... :D
