Fort Qaitbay II, a photo from Alexandria, Inland

Photographer's Note

Another view of Fort Qaitbay in Alexandria, this time with a fisherman in bright orange waterproof clothing. I think I now prefer this shot with people, than the empty rock shelf I first posted. The city dates from 331 BC when it was founded by Alexander the Great.

Hello Chris,
The waves make this view quite dramatic, the fort provides an impressive background and the orange fisherman is a real eye-catcher. This photo is composed basically the same way as the last one from China, where three strong elements form a great unity. The strong colours make a strong impact.
Best regards,
Gert

Bonjour Chris,

La présence du pęcheur ŕ l'imperméable orange attire le regard. Tu as bien capturé la puissance des vagues. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du fort Qaitbay. Bonne journée.

Hi Chris,
amazing colors and the seaside scene, somehow it was not what I expected from Egypt, but then I remembered that you have travelled more thoroughly there and that you posted pics from Alexandria before.
Very impressive fortress. Great point f view. The orange clothes stand out but also the green color of the sea is amazing.
Excellent work,
M

Hello Chris
The fisherman in orange steels the limelight to the other across the river, due to his colourful outfit and consequently he outlines, compared to the old fort, an impression of depth in your picture that could be qualified of 'action shot' because of the frenzy waves hitting the boulders.
Thanks for showing.
Cheers

Hi Chris,
A like the saturated colors of the sea and the sky. Impressive fortification, and big concrete blocks protecting the harbour from waves. Orange overall certainly catches attention.

Hello Chris, the man in the orange overalls is a certain eye catcher.
The breaking waves attract our attention to their action and then towards the people standing close to the edge.
The colours and point of view are excellent.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Chris

Hello Chris,
Well combined three subjectts into one shot:
First noticed the fisherman in orange overall, than the beautiful sea water in deep blue & bright white waves, contrasting the dark rocks on botth jetty's.
Finally looks up and realized the imposing fort shining under the bright daylight.
Superior photo outcome, cheers.

Hello Chris.
Splendid image of this imposing castle at the edge of the sea, the large concrete blocks defend it from the waves today, certainly the sea breaks over them with great beauty.
Wonderful colors, superb sharpness and splendid clarity.
Very well done. I like very much.
Have a nice day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

P.S.
I do not agree with you that Madrid is a difficult city to visit, you have lacked an adequate guide or to prepare visits by areas, since there are many things to see both in monuments and museums.

Hello Chris,
Wonderful composition.
The man in orange contrasts well with the blue sea and sky.
A very good shot of a less commonly seen fortress in a less frequently seen place in Egypt.
Best regards, Paul

Pozdrav.

Moj kolega ribolovac uziva u pecanju ...
Lep pogled, dobar tekst ...
Lepo mesto i stara arhitektuira, dobro poakzano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom, perspeketivom i uhvacenim trenutkom.
Lepa obala za pecanje ribe sa lepim pogledom na tvrdjavu i posetioce.

Zelim vam sve najbolje.

a surprising view of this famous city whose images aren't so frequent nor have a classic iconic aspect. if you talk for a people what it is image you have about this town we only can remember the extinct lighthouse. excellent view with the fort and the fisher in evidence.

take care

Hello Chris,
Hmm, Alexandria is in the south of the Med, so we must be looking east. Wait a minute - I see waves pounding on the rocks! I though the waves in the Mediterranean ran north. ;-)
