Nice pyramid. I just don't see "hope" without using the title. By the way, what is that on top of the pyramid - a warning light for night time flyers?

Maybe it suits the subject but for my opinion it´s quite overexposed. If you have some proper photoediting program then use it to look at the histogram. I would also have liked to have the image bigger.

Very small photo. Check through the forum for tips on saving for web. I can't see how the pyrimid displays hope! Sorry

Over exposed and too bright. Too small also. The composition is too plain. it's a straight on shot of an object. It's a family vacation photo album shot.

How is this hope?

Sorry, don't feel hope here.

I have been to Egypt and seen the pyramids. I think you could stick to the subject and make the theme work. I would suggest backing up so you see more of the pyramid and put it in some kind of context. I would consider possibly shooting it from an oblique angle and to try to get it at sunrise or sunset so you get more dramatic shadowing. Jodie Coston has a free online photography course (//morguefile.com/ver3/classroom.php) which would give you some tips on composition and lighting. Keep at it, and good luck.

A little too small to really see the quality of the photograph. Also the pyramid is not quite centered.

I don't like the cropping (you cut the top) and it needs a lot of work on levels and contrast too

i fail to see the point of this picture in relation to the theme.

Also, a simple "auto-level" in Photoshop would've help greatly with the colours and sharpness.
