What guided this image
Landmarks
Grand Mosque of Conakry; Cathedral of Sainte-Marie; Kaloum; Îles de Los
Viewpoint
Favor a slightly elevated viewpoint over the peninsula, looking south-west along it toward Kaloum, with the sea on both sides and the Îles de Los on the horizon.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the mango trees, palms, and tropical vegetation, the wooded Îles de Los, and the overall visual impression.
Guarded against
Avoid making Conakry look like Dakar, Abidjan, Lagos, or a generic tropical resort, and avoid Mediterranean or Alpine character.
