It would certainly be my sister's favourite messiah (she used to be an Egyptologist - well, I guess she still is, but she doesn't do it for a living any more). Cool shot. I like the silhouette effect of the statue, column and tree. Quite lovely the way the sun seems to be streaming from the icon. I also like the backlit water spilling down from the column. Great use of the light. Interesting photo. I like it a lot. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
