Info Temple of Ramses II, Abu Simbel, Egypt. The Great Temple at Abu Simbel, which took about twenty years to build, was completed around year 24 of the reign of Ramesses the Great (which corresponds to 1265 BC). It was dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, as well as to the deified Ramesses himself. It is generally considered the grandest and most beautiful of the temples commissioned during the reign of Ramesses II, and one of the most beautiful in Egypt. The single entrance is flanked by four colossal, 20 m (66 ft) statues, each representing Ramesses II seated on a throne and wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. The statue to the immediate left of the entrance was damaged in an earthquake, causing the head and torso to fall away; these fallen pieces were not restored to the statue during the relocation but placed at the statue's feet in the positions originally found. c/u/n by me, Poco a poco (talk) 08:08, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Neutral Barrel distortion (sees the face in the image on the right compared to the one on the left) also noise in the sky maybe because sharpening filter? --Wilfredor (talk) 18:29, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- Will upload a new version with a noise reduction of the sky in a few days (I'm traveling right now). Regarding the barrel distortion I'm not sure about that. That's always corrected by default by Lr with usually good results. Poco a poco (talk) 21:00, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- Support The perspective looks natural to me, and the noise in the sky is mild, in my opinion. What's more important to me is that this photo captures the monumentality of the motif. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:40, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
