Urban scene of Al Qahirah

More photos of Egypt in my set:
Egypt

una foto atemporal del antiguo barrio fatimí de el cairo, lejos de las apretadas tiendas de baratijas se extiende un espectacular paisaje urbano lleno de tiendas locales y una rica vida en la calle parecida a un lento hormiguero. Será por el Narguile

Una escena fantàstica, has captat la cotidianeïtat del lloc, i el tractament que li has fet li dona encara més impacte.
Enhorabona

Deletemes, don´t bother about the frames and the signature, I know you have better critics than this ones.

c.tabler says:

well, why don't you remove the signature? it looks really stupid.

in fact, I like the shot a lot. all the detail on the right is just amazing.
having said this, I think there is too much of the blurry foreground on the left. I understand that you need some of it to create depth, but I think its too much. maybe you could just crop some of the left part of the image.

thus: a fave but not a save.

luder.pt says:

Interesting photo, but I find the contrast between the blown out highlights and underexposed zones distracting. Just look at the man on the foreground and the people on the left, with all that pure white on the middle. Same for the pile of stuff on the bottom left, roofs of the houses...

gdiazdeleon says:

No soy muy afecto al tratamiento con sepia, y parece que abusaste del contraste hasta arruinar lo que pareciera una buena foto... después de esto, entonces sí, las bandas negras y la firma, salen sobrando.

jjohnsen says:

Fascinating shot, I hate borders and sigs though. If you want us to ignore them, take them off.

Much of it is blown out, which may be a look you're going for, but it's distracting. The pile of (potatoes, onions?) on the left is a mess.

Hourman says:

The out of focus blobs on the left are a distraction, and the signature is overly large and affects the composition whther your ego can deal with it or not.

I actually like it a lot. But I agree, if you want us to ignore ugly signatures and frames, remove them. Refrain from voting, though.

More Altitude says:

I'm pretty sure this has to be the best shot I've seen on flickr's explore today. The frame and composition are awesome, the crop and framing work so well. The exposure, with successive layers gradually burning out, and the sepia tones, are spot-on. I love the busy-ness and hectic nature of the shot, they capture the atmosphere of Cairo so well- that crazy, dirty, intense and beautifully energetic city. I love the rambling buildings, the stacked produce, the haphazard traffic. Brings back memories and evokes the middle-east beautifully.
