The is the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech. This is the largest mosque in this city, and the minaret was built in the 12th Century. Sadly when I visited it was in the heat of the midday sun and so it was extremely challenging to get any good shots. I decided to use a filter (Nik Color Effex Paper Toner).

I also tried to fix the perspective, but on a second look appear to have made it worse not better. Ho hum.

It looks fine to me. You have beautiful composition and detail. I love the b&w -- reminds me of something in a WWII movie -- Peter Lorre should come out of the souk at any moment...

I bet that mosque is incredible in real life. That Nik filter really works well here. And where are the people? Too hot?

The perspective looks fine to me, so maybe it's a case of you've looked at too much - I know that happens to me alot. I like how even though it's nasty midday sun, you captured the detail of the structure quite nicely.

Great detail - I love the shadows cast by the trees on the bricks.

Great texture and details. I am sure that black and white helps with the rough med day sun and the contrast.
