your picture is nice when viewed in full size.
I think it's so monotone( both the sky & the ground),because the pyramides are too far awasy to be considered as the only subject of the photo, so there should be another thing in yr photo too, for example a figure,a tree, etc as the 1st plan.in the thumbnail we see 2 horizental parts : blue & green.
but I admire yr work,waiting for your next shot.

Great image - I wouldent have expected it was possible to take a photo of the pyramids with a green forground. Perhaps the sky a bit overexposed -but never mind.

I thought that the bridge was in downtown in Zamalek area. I mean incredible.
It is unusual to have a sight of the pyramids starting from the fields of culture, which shows well that Egypt is not a desert as the majority of people think it.

A gray degraded filter can be used to reduce the variation of luminosity between the sky and the ground. Please try to use the rule of the 1/3 to share the horizon, it is one of the bases of the composition in photography.

Great shot ... truly a TrekEarth moment because it is so different. Like everyone said, you always see pyramids shot in the desert context, so you always think that Egypt is arid and dry.
But this picture gives you a different perspective. It's a picture of discovery ... one looks at it and says ... ahhh ...
