Funny...The streetlight (yes, this is a design light box) you've taken in the foreground reminds the primary rough shape of a Holga camera...it's like a Holga family portrait, but could there be such things as Holga streetlights..

Not Holga fan myself, I've stopped the experiments at Lubitel stage, though I've seen very interesting things in your website : gave me some ideas to recycle my Pentacon six. But how do you manage not to get the center circle rangefinder in your shots?

Framing a cube-shaped and very ordinary subject in front of the great pyramid is a clever idea, I like it.
The shadow breaks the symmetry in a interesting way and I like the strict horizontal layering of foreground, middleground and background.
Cutting the top of the pyramid ain't bad either, it lessens the precense of the pyramid and givet it the right weight in the photo.

I am so happy to see more and more of these camera being used here. I think you have captured so many shapes here. I would have liked to see a little more contrast, but excellent shot!

A very nice shot. The composition really catches the eye. The rough edges of the photo really add to the overall shot.
