j'aime bien ici, les jeux d'ombre entre les nuages, le ciel et la ville!

Jordi, The brown building in the foreground sits profounly in contrast with the rest of the skyline. Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing your great photo of Cairo.

Very nice view over the city. The buildings have a feel in this photo. They seem somewhat unreal. The scale of the mosque on the right compared to the city around it. And the newer tall buildings in the distance have a white mountain peaks kind of feel with the way they are lit differently. It has great depth and volume in this photo because of the lighting, too. I think it just came to me. It seems somewhat cinematic. It feels like looking at a movie, your framing helps there, too, as does the coloring and sharpness. Very nicely done.

A really nice urban landscape. I like the different bands of colour here. the main mosque, then the dark buildings of th older neighbourhood, then the light modern building and finally the sky. Lovely light here, a really good time of day for the shot and a good PoV.

I would definitely crop off the bottom. the dark tree tops, the road and teh sinlge white bus add little of interest and are distracting. either leave it like a long thin panarama style shot, or crop some on the left to balance what you remove from the bottom. Either way, still a good shot.

Very nice. I have stood in this very spot, but it was so hazy my shots have come out very differently . Very nice. I particularly like the blance of colour between the city and the sky.

So down to earth this view. Even though there are tall building reaching out to the sky, there is a sense of earthly about the landscape. It is hard to see any other colors.

Cairo is a strange city. I was there before some years and it was a big experiense. In this city they live together the beauty and the ungly, the dirty smell and the marvelous perfumes, the old and the new, the arab world and the hitech buildings. Ur photo gives us an idea of this mysterious city.
