Shalle, Siwa, where you see the round cut stone, used to be the tool of grinding for a very long time... now it is deserted up there in the stairs!
color photo, converted to bw in PS, did some extra work on dodging and burning.
would appreciate the feed back of all the bw expert photographers on the quality of the tonal range here, the contrast, and where I can dodge even more or do some burning... thank you
Well done. I like the composition. A strong "S" shaped leading line. What is really appealing to me are stong rectangular shapes and one large round shape. As for dodge/burn you might want to check the orig for detail in the tops of the steps.
