Egyptian Shadows

yeah it has such a great sense of a hot, dusty afternoon..
the shadows great but the light on the front of the robes is my favorite part..

I think you have two pics for the price of one there. Magnificent!

You have some amazing graphic shots in your gallery, while still doing excellent reportage and soulful portraiture. You versatility and technical ability are truly commendable! BB

True beauty

Fantastic image. I just love the earthy greenish tones and the shadow that looks like it should belong to the man we can see, but looks like the shadow of someone walking the other way…...it’s really quite spooky.

Apart from the excellent technicals of the image it looks like he is coming ang going at the same time

Fantastic! The shadow seems belong to another person!
Congratulation!

Great shot!

oh nice a bit of forrein melancoly! ..walk like an egyptian… great shot!

_Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They’ve got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They’re walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian_
from the song by The bangles.
