Trip to Morocco with my D40 - CC welcome

[hector]

Hi everyone

Thought I'd post a few pictures I took in Morocco last week. A friend and I got some cheap flights and had a great few days there.

I'd love to know what you guys think of these, they were all taken hand-held with my Nikon D40 and the kit 18-55 lens, shot in RAW and edited in Lightroom (except the one of the square with motion blur which was balanced on a railing). I'd particularly like input on post processing.

You can see them bigger on my photostream here:

Thanks in advance!

I know nothing about post, but your people shots are terrific 🙂.

Couple of questions.

Were the B&W's shot B&W or edited in Lightroom to B&W?

Also for the sunset silhouette of the tower, what settings did you use?

Thanks

I like them. For B&W i tend to prefer to turn contrast down, I find I often get better greys doing that.

Well done on the comps!

I think the background on #8 is a bit overwhelming compared to the foreground - but that's fixable in PP...

Keep up the great shots!

I really like the first shot and the lady on the bench, interesting images that make you stop and think about whats going on for a sec. great job!
