Hi:
I spent a few hrs in Chichen Itza, far too little for such a wonderful place,I have dreamed to see this place since my boyhood and finally I saw it.I sat on a log for a rest and imagined heads rolling down the stairs...ouch! I made this photo as a composite to give it drama, The photo was taken at noon, so I took the pic stopped down to darken with PS work in mind....Hope you like it..... Thanks for Peeking in.....Roman:0)

Hello Roman:
This is a superb shot of the cstillo of Chichén. I think you did a wonderful job with the clouds, for it enhances the structure.
Congratulations

Hello Roman,
I remeber walking up those steps & they were not easy to climb, due to their steep angle. I like how you have presented this , sharp details & your sky really sets it off.
