About Looking up the stairs of a minaret, the sunlight shining through the window, it was possible to take this shot.
This shot was captured inside a minaret of one of the very old mosques in Cairo with the sunlight shining from one of it's windows lighting the stairs.

What a chance...could it be the same place too..?as you didn't mention the place.
However..no need to tell..i'm so glad that my chance could lead me to thinking about doing the same thing like a great photogrpher ...maybe i'm starting to do the right steps then to be a good photographer too.

Your use and geometric flow here is really great Khaled, and I appreciate your comments on my own pics. I am always impressed that you, who get so many great reviews of your own work always take the time to look in on my own pieces. Your a great person, but more importantly, you are a great friend!

Hi Fadel,
This shot was captured while looking up and these steps are the stairs from below.
I know it's difficult to say looking up or down but I'm glad you're the only one who got it.
This is the original photo without any PS effect.
Bye my friend,
Khaled.

Excellent exposure in the stairway, Khaled! You've captured great detail and give us the exact impression of the shape of the stairs.
Thanks for your comments!
Dave.

very nice perspective here Khaled. Like the way the light and shade play on it and how it spirals :)

Krzysztof Miroslawski Krzysztof Miroslawski   {K:969} 11/16/2004
nice proportions and composition, but to be honest I hate the digital grain, and lack of sharpness, this kind of abstract-like compositions requires ideal visual impact. /4/

Hi Omar,
This is the funerary complex of Amir Qurqumas, dating to 1506-07. He was a Mamluk of Sultan Qaytbay who became grand amir under Sutlan al-Ghuri. He was the commander-in-chief of the armies, or 'amir kabir".
I hope you like this multiple photos of the mosque and the Minaret I captured my photo from inside it.
Thanx for your comments my friend,
Regards,
Khaled.

Wow! This is an awesome shape study! The curve of the wall is a great lead into the background. Tones and lighting are very good.

Omar Rifaat   {K:10141} 11/16/2004
Very nice shot, Khaled. Quite original and the steps have such nice gradient of light and shadow. The granulairty ads a rustic effect too.
Is this Ibn Tulun, the round part at the top of the minaret?
By the way, Eid mubarak! (sorry, a bit late...)
Omar

arwa abdullah   {K:34415} 11/16/2004
WOW! What an abstract! The perspective might not be unique but its defiantly effective in provoking interest!!! The composition is super excellent way to display the geometric shapes and lines, and the gray tones r just right! yes there are some washed out parts on the right but they contrast nicely with the dark shadowy area! To some people that might be a fault but to me it makes the image even more abstract!
7/7

Gives Us a different angle and what the inside looks like!
Well done Khaled!
My best to You!!!....JOHN

Nice curves Khaled.... For me, the light on the right part,is too strong.. but I think that without this, you will have some difficulties to take this shot. See you...
