What an interesting shot. I clicked on this to see the boat. I've never seen a boat like that. I also like the large sand duen in the background, it's crazy that the water is so close but there is still just so much sand.

Hello Michael,
A real beautiful picture of southern Egypt that shows us very well how small the fertile part near the Nile really is: very small.
Beautiful colour contrasts.
Best regards, Paul

Michael,

I have not been aware of your work before today but I think it is quite good. I see that you critique others which I feel is an important part of the TE experience, by identifying what you like you are able to have a gage for your own work.

This shot is great, I like all of it and if there was a minor criticism it would be that I would have preferred it without the power boat in the frame but as I said that is minor. Color is good and I loke the deep shadows. Fine capture.

Greg

Hi Michael,
A classical view, but always quite attractive. The light and the compo are gorgeous, with the felluca with its sails blown balancing the church or tomb on the top of the sandy hill and the vegetation of the island.
Regards, José.
