Allô Robert!
Superbe prise de vue et je crois que c'est une bonne idée de publier en noir et blanc. Bon cadrage.
Félicitations!... et merci de partager,
Emilius

Hi Robert.
Very nice b&w composition. The perspective is very unique and leads the eye right to the subjects. Nice exposure and good sharpness.

Hi Robert,
I like this photo and it's B&W treatment. I have got some info on Saladin maybe it can be useful:

'Saladin' or Salah al-Din (1137 or 1138–1193; Kurdish: Selahedîn Ayûbî; Arabic: صلاح الدين يوسف بن ايوب‎ ​; al-Malik al-Nāṣir Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb - Ayyoub; Salah ad-Din being an honorific that means The Righteousness of the Faith in Arabic) was a 12th century Kurdish Muslim warrior from Tikrit, in present day northern Iraq, who founded the Ayyubid dynasty of Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Mecca Hejaz and Diyar Bakr. He was also renowned in both the Muslim and Christian worlds for his leadership and military prowess tempered by his chivalry and merciful nature, during his war against the Crusaders.

Merci
Maryam
