Old World Cairo, a photo from Cairo, Delta

Photographer's Note

I took this shot overlooking the city of Cairo and the Giza Pyramids from the Citadel (Wikipedia). Evening was approaching and it was quite hazy out that day, giving the effect you see here. I added to this effect by slightly increasing the red and magenta colors, to give it a bolder sepia look. I hope you like as I keep experimenting!

Hi Elizabeth -
Those pyramids really make this shot unique - I love how they are amidst the typical city scape. The redness/sepia is nice and keeps the mood low and slighlty mysterious.

Cheers!

Hi Elizabeth,
Well I like the result of you experiment, especially the different tone layers with the pyramids in the background. I think getting rid of part of this sky would add more impact though. Made a quick WS to give you an idea...
Well done and keep it up!

Yours,

Philippe
