Description Main reason i think this was special enough to upload was the man with the 2 cows next to the pyramid, in my opinion it made much of the shot.

The hard part was getting the camera to focus on them, since they where so small compared to the rest, after couple of tries it worked.

As many of my shots it is underexposed to make the post-processing easier and to avoid to strong highlights.

The pyramid you see is the smallest of all the pyramids, if i remember correctly the child of the Farao died early in his life due to sickness, and got that small pyramid as his tribute and gateway to the afterlife.

Thats about it, if you have any questions, just ask

Yea you're right 'bout the cows ^^
I would have expected them smaller..
I think they give you a impression of the size of the pyramid..
and it's cool cos everything else is just clean..

beatiful shot

great composition of the picture. the colours are amazing and the clouds are breathtaking.

was this made with the sepia effect or are the colours a result of the post-processing?

Can't you just imagine them talking! You should do another copy with a caption! Really nice anyway, I agree about the cows!
