About A donkey-pulled cart which you can still see in Egypt's streets till now. It's a mode of transportation for poor people especially peasants. Every peasant keep donkeys, because harvest and other field work are hard to manage without them.
If we go back to history, we'll find that donkeys has been for a long time the only means of transport in Egypt. Egyptians relied exclusively on the donkey for land travel in their own country.
N.B.The maximum speed of a donkey is 40 mph.
This shot was captured on Cairo's Ring Road.

Hi Khaled,
This is a very nice picture and is very Egyptian as well. I like the photo very much. However, I believe if there was more focus on the cart than the background, it would have been better. In other words, the traffic in the background is so clear that it distracts attention from the core of the photo.... Overall, good work keep it up.

Great capture with great BW tones, my only minor complaint is the car on the other side of the road (right behind the man's head) maybe I'm wrong it's just my impression. Wonderfull one dear Khaled!

Great view of the old tradition and the new. I think I might be a bit scared to be on the city roads with the cars roaring by. Beautifully taken Khaled with the man staring straight at you, and the view of cars and city behind. Your lighting and tones are excellent. Alison

Hi Samer,
Thanx for your help and support. You were not rude nor offensive, I do need criticism for my work rather than compliment.
In this shot I was standing on the "Moneib Bridge" taking some shots for the nile and the fishing boats, and suddenly I found this man sitting in his donkey-pulled cart behind me, so I tried to adjust my camera quickly and captured him and that what I got, I didn't have the chance to take more than one photo coz he was moving and was so close to me.
I cropped a little from the right and left sides of the image but I didn't crop anything from the bottom, coz the cart was moving, after I captured the shot I found that a part of the front leg of the donkey is not included in the picture.
I do appreciate your support and comments, looking forward to recieving more critics from you my friend.
Regards,
Khaled.

Hi Khaled,
I would like you to try to put your Work for a critique in this site
www.photo.net
in USEFILM there is a lot of compliments more than a critique.
Photo.net is a step for a pro photographer.
About this photo, I don?t like cropping the leg of the donkey plus the shot needs to be more in perspective and needs more contrast.
I like the sharpness and the idea but you need to take more than one photo for the same shot or idea and to pick the best of them.
I don?t want to be rude nor offensive but you need someone to criticize your work coz you?ve got a very good sense of art?Just keep it up man :)

Excellent Khaled. I like the expression of the donkeys driver. A little hot on some part of the donkey but other than that, just about spot on :)
