An interesting perspective, and you caught the child dancing! What fun. My eye keeps going to the bright gold light on the right. Am wondering if that can be toned down in Lightroom? Posted: 11/24/2025 19:41:07
You have an interesting travel story here. I am afraid your image does not convey the story. I am also looking for a center of interest for a place to rest my eyes. Posted: 11/24/2025 20:09:50
I like the composition of the Sphinx statues lined up evenly with the spotlight. I notice the sky looks pixelated. Posted: 11/26/2025 23:24:54
