As I wondered around Luxor Temple just a week ago, there was sense of desperation on the part of the Egyptian people. They want freedom, they need tourists and above all they need money. They can't win though, if they hassle the tourists, they loose their freedom, the tourists stay away and they don't spend. I looked up above the temple walls which have have been cleared of sand revealing the ancient Temple. Above it stands a Mosque. This man looked down on the tourists, "What can I do?"

This would be a very thought provoking shot even with no explanation. You did a great job of composing this - the fence,the man's expression - very powerful.
