Support Egyptians making their living through tourists. —kallerna™ 11:55, 23 November 2010 (UTC)- Support In spite of a very "turisty" look of the image
--Mbz1 (talk) 15:32, 23 November 2010 (UTC) - Info The angle makes it seem like a 'middle of the desert location' when in fact, it is 100m from a golf course and an urban neighbourhood of Cairo. --Shuki (talk) 16:22, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Neutral -- Good but might be better. Mulazimoglu (talk) 17:30, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Oppose the composition is not well balance IMO.. ie. too much sky to the top-left.. not the best crop of the right pyramid.. not ideal composition of the tourists/Egyptian.. Ggia (talk) 09:28, 25 November 2010 (UTC)- OpposeTechnically good, maybe very good, but I don't see anything featurable here.--Jebulon (talk) 15:29, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose I would like to see more of the right pyramid, and also the rest of the shadow of the camel in the foreground. Both tend to lead my eye out of the picture. Sorry. - LeavXC (talk) 18:35, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- Support I quite like the composition. Some very different sized objects are in good balance. I think seeing more of the right pyramid would overwhelm the other subjects. --99of9 (talk) 22:41, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- Support --Böhringer (talk) 21:00, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Support Weighting the composition to the right via the angle of the pyramid and the sky to the top-left is a great way to draw the eye to the people, yet still include the pyramids themselves as part of the subject matter. In other words, you may not find it personally attractive, but the composition does have good balance and is highly educational. Steven Walling 21:51, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose I like the composition apart from the pyramid to the right. Unlike others, I would like to see a little less of the largest pyramid. I think the slant line of that pyramid should have intersected the upper right corner. Not possible with the nominated photo though as it would have cut the tourists in half. Light is very good. I am not too fond of the touristic theme either, albeit I acknowledge it is a natural element around the pyramids and they add a good sense of scale. --Slaunger (talk) 14:02, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose sorry, but I agree with Slaunger. Composition problem --George Chernilevsky talk 09:39, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
