Dawn of Egypt


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick  
The Dawn of Egypt
The Dawn of Egypt

I have been to Egypt twice over the years, both times in October. Egypt is a really fascinating place to visit and experience. The mystique is real and beyond words to describe! Everyone, whether it is in the hotel or those living in the villages, is always willing to share their understanding of the history of Egypt and her people. This is a digital creation from an old image of what the Fourth Dynasty in Egypt may have looked like! Effects created with PSE7 + NIK filters. Original is in the comments section.

One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - The Great Pyramid of Giza (also called the Pyramid of Khufu and Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt.

  Yes, a thoughtful treatment for a desert image, Jeff. The feel of the arching lines above the scene especially reminds me of the way the air looks when one is in such a dry landscape and the heat radiates from the ground in waves through the air.

  Jeff- I love the creative touches you put on this picture. The comparison with the original is awesome and I love how you transformed it. The colors are beautiful and I love the glow and the lines are fantastic.
Creative, gorgeous work my friend.

  My jaw is still dropped open, Jeff! This is amazing DDR and PERFECT for this subject. I just bought PSE7 not too long ago so this is an exciting prospect for me to think I can do this, too.

HUMM...NOW I just have to figure out how to get to Egypt! Hee hee!

Truly cool!!!
