actually, I quite liked the pastel colours... As to the foreground: I didn't have much choice as I was shooting from the other shore of the Nile, using my 80-400 mm zoom plus a 1.7 tele-convertor.

I burned loads of film on this occasion, some much more saturated.

more photos from Egypt (some highly saturated, using Fuji Velvia ;-) )

I really get the impression he tried that with the farm and the small building in the foreground.  But colors here tend to be rather bland as the sun burns the life from anything.

It's almost certainly atmospherics. But that will almost certainly
connect more with someone who has been there (like yourself) than not.

Would having something in the near foreground have helped? The old
mind would make the step to haze (atmospherics) easier if nearby
elements were contrasty and saturated?
