[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The “wall of fame” by the ball court in Chichen Itza. The wall contains over 3000 faces of players who won their matches at the ball court and then were sacrificed to the gods. If that was the prize for the winners one wonders what happened to the losers!

In the background, beyond the trees is the main pyramid at Chichen Itza.

Hello Sunil,
A very interesting photo you show us and note.
A very cruel world in to that time and place.
Your picture has a nice play of light at the
'photogallery'of the players.
I think the losers get the same prize!
t.f.s. and greetings,
Frieda.

Nice capture. Excellent POV with good composition. The warm lighting and colours are excellent.
Best wishes,
Achim

hi Sunil

A nice POV showing the pyramid with a different perspective. I also like your Steps post. Wondering too what it will looks like at early sunrise or late sunset?

tfs, bill
