Hi Ayman, Very nice picture. I like the rays of the sun, they are the spotlight on the window with all those beautiful lines.

You know, how I am glad to your returning:) It similarly on a prison window, but a sunlight does not allow a shot to be gloomy. A good shot) Also do not vanish it is more:)

Ayman - good to see you back! And what a great shot you have for your return - almost a sepia kind of color setting for this intricate play of shadows and light. The window and the iron grid are very well accentuated. Beautiful capture, well done.

And we missed you, Ayman, welcome back..
This house looks like a prison, but the light is much too god for a prison. Very good ude of the direct sunlight and excellent contrast. A very good composition, very well done.

Dramatic light, well seen and presented. I learned a little about light and shadow, wall and openings in wall, and how these things can interact, and how it can happen, in Cairo.
