October 2026 - Hassan II Mosque (Casablanca, Morocco)

About the Image(s)
This image was taken in the morning with fog and a light shower at the time. I snapped many photos from different angles from outside the mosque and inside the mosque. I picked this one hoping that it presents a different view from so many images you can find on the web of this well-known site.
I used PS and Nik to adjust the light and corrected the perspective both vertically and horizontally. If you are interested in knowing more about this mosque, here is the link: https://hassan2mosque.com/about/

This is too good! I really like the angle of view. The retaining wall creates a strong leading line that naturally draws the eye toward the mosque, making the composition very well balanced. Not many people would think of capturing it from this particular angle. Thanks for sharing! Posted: 10/03/2026 01:44:30
It is challenging to take a photo on a well-known site(s) and make it different from so many photos taken on the same site posted on the cyberspace. Thanks for your comments. It is encouraging!! Posted: 10/03/2026 14:51:32
I love the angle. I'd be tempted to add more contrast to the architecture. The sky is quite drab, so I would consider cropping down a tad, as we see lots of the sky around the spire. Very interesting! Bravo! Posted: 10/06/2026 01:35:40
Is this one better? Posted: 10/07/2026 03:26:49
Maybe take out the city buildings on the right? Perhaps complete the perspective corrections? I like the effect of the fog. Posted: 10/06/2026 23:13:13
Thanks for your suggestions. See my updates. It is challenging to correct the perspective without cropping out some areas. I left the buildings on the right as I don't think they created distractions. Posted: 10/08/2026 16:53:37
