Très bonne symetrie ici le cadre noir donne un bel effet.
La sensation de se trouver derriere cette fenetre me plait bien.
Bravo pour cette bonne profondeur de champ Ayman.

Funny framing, very strong sence of looking out from something. In the upper ornaments I see two faces with wide open mouths, sad eyes and curly hair but that is just a trick of my imagination.

I know and I very like Egypt, but through your objective I see his new to myself. It is good, because there is much that I yet did not see that I do not know and be not able to feel yet. It is good because simply to see - a little.

This is an excellent shot, Ayman, Really great shot. I like the way you framed it very very much, very artistic and original use of the window frame and the DOF. The view of the mosques and the city towers is amazing and sharp. Ayman, I think that this is one of your best shots, very very well done, one of my best favorites.

This is excellent, Ayman. Perfect use of the window to frame the towers and highrises behind. You really found an angle here that presents an interesting detail of Cairo's cityscape behind almost every single opening of the ornate window. I feel like I'm standing there and it makes me want to stick my hand out into the air. Very good shot.

Excelent Ayman.

I like the focus in the infinty, give a blur to the windows and sharp all the background. The diferent colors and the backgound give a dep idea.

Well done

What an original point of view. The framing is perfect. It is symetric but not too much with the 2 towers on the right. Very well done, Ayman!

thr framing works well in this situation quite well and also you making the border frame black helps this shot a lot. the mosque used is a great center point. bravo great eye.
