Info Temple of Nefertari, Abu Simbel, Egypt. The temple, also called Small Temple of Abu Simbel, was built about 100 m (330 ft) northeast of the temple of Ramesses II and was dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Ramesses II's chief consort, Nefertari. This was in fact the second time in ancient Egyptian history that a temple was dedicated to a queen. The first time, Akhenaten dedicated a temple to his great royal wife, Nefertiti. The rock-cut facade is decorated with two groups of colossi that are separated by the large gateway. The statues, slightly more than 10 m (33 ft) high, are of the king and his queen. On either side of the portal are two statues of the king, wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt (south colossus) and the double crown (north colossus); these are flanked by statues of the queen. Remarkably, this is one of very few instances in Egyptian art where the statues of the king and his consort have equal size. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:40, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Comment Sky looks quite underexposed, maybe due to harsh light towards the temple. Could be possible to fix? —kallerna (talk) 08:17, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Will look into that this evening (will try to gain some more crop and the sky exposure) Poco a poco (talk) 10:34, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- —kallerna: I've increased the luminance of the sky a bit without really feeling comfortable with the edit (premiere), I hope you like it better now. I also offer a bit more of crop now, Wolf im Wald Poco a poco (talk) 18:05, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- It looks improved to me. What are you uncomfortable with? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:08, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek: Well, changing the luminosity of a part of the picture is something I haven't done before, it doesn't really feel right. I had this kind of discussion with the skies in the Atacama desert, they were also darker Poco a poco (talk) 21:41, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- So increase the darkness, but what I liked was that you eliminated the color noise. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:41, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- if it helps, I find it normal to have very dark sky in "high azimutal" parts of the sky. Also, given the latitude and the intense light, there's probably a strong contrast between the temple and the sky. Another reason for the latter rendering dark. But these are just personal observations. - Benh (talk) 09:13, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
