L'efigie, monument funerari davant de la piràmide de Kefren.

Sphinx, on front of Kefren pyramid. At her feet people like Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Julio Caesar or Hitler were postrated, and she is still looking to the same place... over all of us

Post: change to black and white, then duotone. Sky process alone and add the frame.

A very special shot of the sphinx, Jordi, and a very interesting PP work . well done.

Nice image Jordi. i like it a lot. The atmosphere here is strange. it almost like if nobody knew about this monument in your shot. You made it become an "out of this world " monument.. nobody around, bklack and white. Well done.

Very nice picture. Your B&W change gave a very nice feeling to the image. The shape of the clouds do also help to emphasize your main theme.
Well done!

Excellent choice of B/W/Duo toning Jordi, no distractions at all. A great capture of a magical monument. Well done Jordi!

Muy bueno, Jordi! Los duetones le sientan francamente bien a la Esfinge! ;-) Supongo que el original no tenía unos colores demasiado interesantes. La composición es excelente... lo único que echo de menos es un poco más de detalle (le falta sharpness, quizás??)

Works very well in black and white. Definitely a different view of this familiar subject. Very dramatic sky! Well done!

Perfect composition!
I like the atmosphere that you've created with B&W choice and the amazing sky.
Very good!

I'm not sure how I missed this one. But the sepia or b/w effect makes the shot. Imparts ancientness to it.

Very nice shot of sphinx i think it too old shot becouse this place changed a littel now ..i don't know why you said (her &she) He was a king not a Queen :0)) and he had a face of the man and the Lion's Body, thanks for showing this ... will done

Another of Jordi's masterpieces :)
Lovely shot and amazing post pro.

very nice photo. The black and white give to it something from the mystery of Sphinx. Another point which make the photo more exciting is that the clouds they open just over the Sphinx head. Lovely

Bonica imatge. El cel ha quedat perfecte i el tractament en Blanc i negre també.
