Photographer's Note
Talaat Harb Square is one of the main squares in Cairo.
"Talaat Pasha Harb (Arabic: طلعت حرب) (25 November 1867 - 13 August 1941) was a leading Egyptian economist and founder of Banque Misr (The Bank of Egypt), and its group of companies, in May 1920." (Wiki)
That's the back of his statue you can see on the white pedestal. Here's a nocturnal shot I found on Wikipedia:

Hello Chris,
I love the lighting on the two buildings, giving them a golden hue.
The gap between the two acts like a funnel, guiding us effectively inwards.
I think if you have cropped the bits of further buildings at the edges, it would have concentrated us more easily inwards.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Chris,
La prιsence des automobiles anime la scθne. La prise de vue permet de voir les dιtails de l'architecture des immeubles et de la statue. La lumiθre met en valeur la beautι des couleurs. Bonne journιe.

Bonjour, cher Chris,
Voir la ville sous cette forme d'urbanisme ιtonne le lecteur (l'on se croirait dans une grande ville europιenne).
La lumiθre contribue ΰ la joliesse d'ensemble.
Amitiιs.

Bonjour Chris,
Une trθs belle photo de rue. Tu as su profiter d'une lumiθre parfaite sur les deux gros bβtiments qui se font face, tandis que la rue demeure sombre, juste pour le contraste.
Amicalement

Hi Chris
Nice shot with attraction is on the buildings bathed in warm light and colour. The composition benefits from the wide shadowy area at the bottom of the image and excellent contrast to blue background. Congrats
Best wishes

Hello Chris,
A very beautiful light illuminates the buildings with nice light yellow shades.
The traffic at the bottom of the picture is completely subordinate to the beautiful buildings.
Best regards, Paul

hello Chris, I wouldn't guess this is the picture from Cairo. The buildings are similar to those we can see in Spain. where is the chaos in the street? beautiful light. I would maybe correct perspective of clone out the small parts of other buildings on the left and right sides.
have a nice weekend

Hello Chris,
What an amazing sunlight you had here. It adds such a beautiful golden hue to the grand architecture of these buildings around the square. The photo also gives a nice impression of the busy life and traffic around this place.

Hello Chris
Fascinating to see how the architecture of both buildings is attuned to each other. Yet both buildings have their own character.
Excellent photographed from a great perspective.
Well done
Have a good weekend, groet Rob

Hello Chris,
The light upon the corner building enhanced their yellow-stones built walls and balconies, contrast by the shaded lower street area.
Detected well the traffic with fine clarity.
Scene of a not-so-crowded Cairo place, unlike of what we know about moving in this scity.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Chris,
I do not know why, but this reminds me of France. Very nice shot of what looks to be a posh neighborhood.
