Cairo museum, jam packed with artifacts and antiquities. The building itself a honeycombed series of rooms, pierced by natural light. Truly and illuminating place in every sense of the word.

This is an interesting and quite beautiful shot. I think the composition is good, and the light looks great coming in through the windows. I do find the shot to be a little grainy, and perhaps not as sharp as possible. Was this cropped from a larger image? Perhaps between photoshop and neat image, you could give this more impact, because it truly is a lovely spot you are showing us.

Illuminating indeed. I really like this shot. The grainess of the scan could be improved and I wonder if perhaps the shot isn't a tad too bright but otherwise, I think the shot is first rate.

Great handling of illumination, nice shot!

Great shot! Beautiful rays coming from the window. Maybe you could have posted a bigger picture to better see the details.

Perfect captured sun rays and balanced lighting in the whole shot...Details are nice too...Very well done!

You made a great shot here by focusing on the beauty of the architecture and this wonderful raylight.

Photographier l'intérieur du musée du Caire est un très grand privilège réservé aux experts. Ce musée a été fondé par Auguste Mariette vers la fin du 19 ème siecle.
Très bonne maîtrise des lumières bien dirigées à l'intérieur de la salle. La compositon est grandiose.
To photograph the interior of the museum of Cairo is a very great privilege reserved to the experts. This museum was rested by Auguste Mariette towards the 19th century end. Very good control of the lights directed well inside the room. The compositon is very imposing.

I think the grain adds to the mystique. But it would have been nice if it were a little sharper.

The sunrays were amazing. A bit darkening the rest of the picture could be more dramatic.

Beautiful shot wuth a great light effects.

These rays are outstanding. It looks completely irreal! What a nice place to display splendors. Yo've got it perfectly, but just a bit small on the screen. Your pic is only 93Ko. You could repost it from the original (if more than 93Ko), with a lower reduction factor. It's worth it.

Good composition with very nice sun rays

Interesting shot, I've got a similar one also in the same building (not on TE). Nice!

Seems like a divine illumination.Nice shot :)

A very good moment. The light makes the place divine.

Bonito efecto de iluminación. La pena es el ruido de la foto.
