Absolutely wonderful, I love them all! I used to make pottery hands.

Marvelous

Wonderful addition to your series and a fascinating instrument!

What a great idea, and yes look at those lovely maniucured hands. I remember one Christmas when my musician son was here. He is a guitarist and wouldn't wash up for fear of actually softening his hands. This is a wonderful addition to your hands series, and what would you call the intruments? - hugs Jane xx

Excellent picture. Todd

excelente trabajo y menudas fotos no esperan de las manos puede ser una serie fabulosa bravo amigo

Oh, j'aime beaucoup le son des qaraqab qui ne sont pas si facil à jouer... La couleur or du jalaba donne plus de texture aux instruments. Par contre, si je peux me permettre, j'aurais fait un contre plongé mais plutôt vu de plus bas avec un bon point de focus sur les mains. Ou sinon, j'aurais cerré un peu plus la photo... Ceci dit, j'aime beaucoup comme ça aussi, celà donne bien l'image de l'or Arabian et sa musique ! Excellent Michel et merci pour cette série qui est un régal pour mes yeux et aussi un petit peu de nostalgie pour mes chers amis du Sud :) "ma'as-salama"

Magnifique photo ! l'habit est superbe. par contre, je ne connais pas ces instruments ! Merci à Valerie d'éclairer ma lanterne... Ca me done l'envie de manger un bon couscous demain :-) Bises Virginie

What a excellent picture here.

a superb and very interesting picture

Hi Michel, your Morocco series is very interesting and loaded with beauties, This is a very good one, and hands are always very interesting ....... as you can learn from the old painters from Holland and Belgium ......... they are often fascinated or focusing on hands in their work!!! Thanks for sharing and have a nice weekend (hopefully it will be dry tomorrow .... its raining very heavy this evening at the coast!!) Henk

I remember your hand series, this is a fine addition to that. Love the soft hand and a texture of the instrument.

You didn't ask but... (LOL) Moroccan Qraqeb is a handmade instrument made from metal and leather strings. It is made with 4 cymbals also called qraqeb or qraqesh. Each pair of the Qraqeb is connected with a ring to keep them together. Each hand holds one pair by having the thumb hold one side and the other 3 or 4 fingers hold the other side. The cymbals each have 2 holeswith a leather string on it for holding it. This is a magnificent view of the instruments and hands and, what I would say, is a unique portrait of the face of Moroccan music.

Excellent!!!!!!!

beautiful capture.

superb shot

Very talented indeed...Hugs

Et on danse comment? Jolie claquette!

Très beau détail, ça c'est de la photo intéressante et qui n'enfonce pas des portes grandes ouvertes! Bravo!

Are those castanets? A lovely and clear portrayal and authentic in every way. Just marvelous.
