Egyptians. Page Three: Deserted
Deserted areas are the ones which Bedouins choose to settle in. Nothing to envy them in terms of the living conditions. 60% of unemployment is the figure I was given by the locals. Interesting how they define employment and unemployment there….

Jerzy: great, instant moment. The picture itself can stand on its own legs - great sharpness, lifelike saturation without overdoing it. Cogent note. regards, c

Witam!
Kolejne ciekawe zdjęcie z dalekiego kraju. Też kilka lat temu byłem w Egipcie. Tutaj zamiast piramid, wielbłądów i sfinksów mamy prawdziwe życie tego kraju. To mi się podoba.

To jest co lubię. Niby proste zdjęcie z ulicy, a ile tu ciekawych smaczków. Twój styl. Dobra robota.
Pozdrawiam.

Why not give it just a little more space to the left? I like the way you treated sharpness here. You were able to maintain a fleshy natural appearance in the human skin while stretching the definition on the walls and floor. I like that. Color rendition is very good. Looks like you are finally dominating the PSP beast ;)

One thing that allways captures my attention in these areas, are the way locals dress - I mean, no matter how cold or hot the weather is, they allways dress the same way - these kids are too dressed for the high temperatures (I guess...).
We, urban people, are more sensitive to the weather...
Good quick capture of the moment, with impressive quality.
This is two pictures in one and although they are not interacting, I like the balance bettween the two.

My Best Compliments!

Heja Jerzy - Twój styl - nie wiem, ale chyba dzisiaj nie zgadzam się z Grażyną - te kolory niosą dodatkowy ładunek emocji - zspustynniali ludzie...

Pozdrawiam

Hi Jerzy,
Very nice composition from the desert. I like your POV and the expressions. Good sharpness and satured colours

Wspaniałe kompozycyjnie - jakby zestawione dwa obrazki a przecież idealnie zharmonizowane. I te kolory: piaskowe od stóp do głów :). Wszystko takie Twoje, że trudno nie pomyśleć, że jesteś tu "u siebie". Co tu więcej dodawać - to jest to, co lubię :). Pozdrowienia ciepłe T.

Hello Jerzy
I was born in Egypt and until the years 80 there was no unemployment before.
Many things are changing now.
Its a good composition but it's hard for me to see this.
Cheers.

Hi Jerzy,

very nice picture and useful info. It's definitely a great composition! Thanks for sharing.

Hello Jerzy,
Looks as if we made the same kind of tour starting in Petra ane ending in the Sinai. I remember that the Beduins were not too happy with photographers, but you seem to be confortable in taking their pictures. Here you caught a pretty glimpse of their daily life which seemed so hard to me when I visited the place 6-7 years ago. I am a bvit disturbed by the pole, and I would have removed it on PS. Of course some will say that it is part of the scenery and claim that it must remain.


Happy week-end - Izzet
