Artist's Comments

Location of this photo is right next to the sphinx in the Giza.
The tourist buss was just about to leave, and the sun was going down. I love how the strong back light made the foreground skies black when the camera "read" the light.

i underexposed the picture by 1, to make sure that just a low amount of the photo had strong highlights. overexposed clouds is not nice.
It is always easier to work with to dark areas compared to light.

Original image had underexposed and low-contrast areas, so in the post processing i worked with contrast and color.
the difference in the color between the upper and lower sky is actually from the original photo, i just made it warmer and less noticeable for a smoother look.

oh, and the "ruins" you see in the bottom is grave champers. at least i think so, please correct me if i am wrong.

Thats about it, hope you like it :aww:

this is gorgeous, the colours are wonderful, and the lighting exceptional. if there weren't any humans in the scenery it would have been perfect, but still, it's an impressive sight. good work :D

It's the courage to go forth into the darkness, face your fears, find your heart, find light where you thought were shadows of your dream.

I LOVE the colors. Really great! I like these sun rays (I hope, that's the correct word). I think the clouds at the top are a little to hard (I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain it better...) and perhaps you could try to cut of the people at the bottom.
