There is no normal palm in Belgium... Here when we see palms, we think holidays...
The picture ici nice and it is a good idea to take this sun that was just behind but be cafrful not destroy your lense... with the strong sun of Egypt!

i think you choose the right time you are luky because the sun come when you are standing with your camer .. good idea

La lentille de votre caméra possède une couche de fluorine qui empêche l'apparition des reflets et des aberrations chromatiques ; il est fort déconseillé de nettoyer la lentille avec un chiffon. Avec une focale supérieure à 28 mm vous risquez de perdre la vue et de détruire votre appareil.

The lens of your camera has a layer of fluorite which prevents the appearance of the reflections and chromatic aberrations; it is extremely disadvised cleaning the lens with a tissue.
With a focal > 28 mm it's a risq to destroy your eyes and your camera.

Very nice hide and seek of the sun behind the tree.
Wonderful red shades on the sky as well.
Very well done!

It looks a bit to exposured, but still a nice one, Ayman. I like the sunrays torough the palm leaves, it is such a classic one. I wish I could make a WS, I think I'd turn in to b/w and reduce the contrast.
Well done, Ayman.

Voila qui est joli et bien immortalisé.
Les teintes sont superbe sur cette image avec une belle sensation de ce vent.
Bravo Ayman

Interesting effect, Ayman. Given the fact that what you're posting here is a violation of the "don't shoot into the sun" rule, the result is pretty good. There is a bit of an overexposure, but if I consider it a special effect I'd say it's actually interesting. Nice red shades in the cloudy sky behind the palm tree. Thanks for sharing.

By the way, I like your new "action" intro photo ;-))

I like this one Ayman. The wind in the palms is interesting and makes for good composition. Like Avigur11, I also enjoy the sun filtering trough the tree.

p.s. I really like your new photo in your introduction. A real biker boy...
