"The curse of Pharaohs", a photo from Aswan, Inland

Photographer's Note

It was getting dark when we arrived at the Temple of Kom Ombo. It is a place to see crocodile mummies in the Crocodile Museum. Only photography is allowed if you've ticket to prove.
I was cursed because I had a terrible sore-throat and watery ( uncomfortable ) in one eye. If this happened this year I'll be worried.

Hello Loong,
What an impressive view of this temple! Wonderful lighting too and a great contrast between the blue and golden parts. The stone carvings in the pillars are also clearly seen and the people add a perfect sense of scale.

Hello Loong, Usually curse of the pharaoh means something else. But the watery in the eye must be also unpleasant. Eyecatching view with these illuminated in blue parts. Nice night picture.

Best regards MAlgo

Good morning Loong,
This place is so huge, impossible to take a whole view from a close rang.
Managed well the artificial yellow-light and shadows, good scale by the people on the feet of the tall gates with fine clarity.
A place I'd visit if only peace prevails in the region.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Hello Loong,
I visited Kom Ombo at daytime and didn't see it with this illumination. It makes the ruins look completely different.
Thanks to the presence of the visitors, we see how huge and wide the columns are. Also the carvings all over the columns are clearly visible.
First you must upload your photo and then you can find the item 'Post to Workshop' under the picture. Then click on it.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Loong,
The blue and yellow light make this photo very eye-catching. Along with the persons, some of them seen as silhouettes, and the traditional Egyptian figures on the columns the light has created an exciting atmosphere. It's a very well composed photo and well exposed.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Loong,

This looks an exciting photograph on the thumbnail, because of the colours and the title. The colours look really intriguing.

It's a fine photograph, full of atmosphere, the long, tall corridors drawing us in. The figures remove any sense of fear, give us confidence to advance and ... they help to reveal the huge scale of the building.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

If you still haven't worked out how to upload a workshop, this is what I do. I always place my w/s photograph on my desktop, so it's easy to find. After you have posted your main photograph on TE, go to your posted photograph and underneath it, you will see a title 'post to workshop'. If you click on this, it directs you to choose a photograph, which will be on your desktop. Don't use punctuation in the title of your w/s photo or it will say it is illegal.
