Nice photo of the Sphinx and the Pyramid. (One that I didn't get when I was there in April) I like how the walkway with people is off to the left showing the line leading to the Pyramid. I also like how you were able to get so much in your photo. The blue sky sets off the Pyramid and the Sphinx nicely. I do think the sandstone is a bit brighter on the Sphinx and the surrounding stone than it is naturally. But good job with the composition of all the elements and having people to show scale!   Posted: 08/11/2025 00:00:15
Phyllis has written a very good critique of your image that I completely agree with. Is the image a little over-sharpened? The halo around the right side of the head of the sphinx suggests slight over-manipulation.   Posted: 08/13/2025 20:15:49
