Photographer’s Note

This place in cairo it is built for the Egyptian soldiers as a sign after the war 1973 and in this place also the Grave of our last president Anwer El Sadat the peace maker.
* I cropped from down because this is the end of the reflection and the rest of the ground were Matt and you can't see any reflection on it so i cropped it.

I just want to thank all the friends in TE because i learnt a lot from this site really about photography ... thanks all

Ayman, realy a nice one.

You have here a good composition, a very good light, good colours as well, and a fantastic reflexion. I was a fan of Anwer El Sadat, indeed the peace maker.

Very good shot, Ayman. I like your symmetrical framing, and the lines of the tiles on the floor that draw the eye into your image. The reflection is also coming out very well. I think you would have achieved 100% symmetry if you had stepped two or three steps to the right, but this is still very good as is.

Excellent symmetry! And, I love the way you captured the reflection.

Great simetric composition! The frame helps to give the equilibrium idea! I think if you tried to show the all structure reflection would be a even greater photo.

Il fallait reculer de quelques pas pour obtenir une symétrie totale de la reflection de la 4ème pyramide.
Le reste de la composition est correcte.

It was necessary to move back of some steps to obtain a total symmetry of the reflection of the 4th pyramid. The rest of your composition is correct.

Quel dommage de ne pas avoir reculer pour avoir la symetrie parfaite .
Domage car l'ensemble est tres bien fait.

fantastic reflection well done

I know there are pyramid of more than 2000 year old but I didn't know your were building pyramid nowdays.
This symetric reflection is wonderful but it is a pity that the bottom is cropped.
Nice picture.

Very nice picture Ayman.
I like it a lot.

Ebbe (9571) 2004-01-04 11:55

You are attracted by triangles, Ayman, I have noticed that. This is a fine symetrical reflection but I miss the top in the reflection. I do see that the modern pyramid has been improved, on the old model it was very difficult to reach the inside and I think you have saved some on materials too. ;o)

Very good composition. I like the way you cut the tip of the "pyramid" in the reflection. Very well-seen.

tres belle photo bien que presque élémentaire au pays de pyramide !

Georges (11183) 2004-01-04 12:28

Superbe prise. Les détails de l'image sont excellents et le reflet est très beau.
Je suis d'accord avec Pêche Passion et Didi pour les deux pas en arrière
Bravo

Great phot Ayman. Love the symetir of the composition, especially in combination wit the reflection. Great colours as well. I only wish that the top would show in teh reflection as ewll.This would have made the photo complete.

Clochette (8076) 2004-01-04 18:21

Very nice capture of a symbol. Light and colors are perfect (a pity for the bottom of the reflection). A great shot Ayman !

This is a very beautiful shot of a very nice memorial monument (I remember this war...), your composition is perfect to me I think cropping out the bottom part was a very good idea as it breaks the symetry which I like.

joseelias (367) 2004-01-06 4:52

You know, even if the bottom wasn't matt I think you should cut it! A perfect simetry wouldn't work as well as this I think.

Good composition. i also like the shade in the monument as it added some more complexity to the image.

A very interesting stucture and a great photo of it. My only negative critic is that it seems a bit slanted. But still a great shot.

dominique (11403) 2004-01-06 17:46

it is a good idea and it is well done, the reflection is very interesting.

Dinyar (704) 2004-01-15 10:17

Nice shot. I like the reflection.
I also like how the floor has lines running through it. Your angle is excellent.
Thanks for this photo.

Great reflection! The framing is nice. Beautiful and interesting shape of the architecture. Nice work

c_kyr (1810) 2004-02-13 11:57

Very nice reflection. Informative note, too. Well done!

Mrg (823) 2004-04-27 17:12

This monument reminds me of a similar one that exists here in Portugal, in the memory of the portuguese soldiers who died in Africa wars (Angola, Moçambique and Guiné). Very nice
