Photographer’s Note

NOTE: Capture scanned from analogic shot.

Uxmal (Yucatec Maya: Óoxmáal) is a large pre-Columbian ruined city of the Maya civilization in the state of Yucatán, Mexico. It is 78 km south of Mérida, Yucatán, or 110 km from that city on Highway 261 towards Campeche, Campeche), 15 km south-southeast of the town of Muna. Though it is thought to also have more than one hidden tomb of the gods.

Uxmal is pronounced "Oosh-mahl". The place name is Pre-Columbian and it is usually assumed to be an archaic Maya language phrase meaning "Built Three Times", although some scholars of the Maya language dispute this derivation.

Hola Manuel.
Un bonito encuadre en el que nos muestras tan soberbio edificio. El color del cielo resulta curioso, tenia esa tonalidad o lo has saturado tu un poco?. Me parece buena idea el ir rescatando estas antiguas fotos analogicas y te digo esto para darme animos a mi mismo, pues tambien estoy comenzando a escanear fotos analogicas. Mi enhorabuena por el trabajo.
Un cordial saludo.
Luis.

Pues para haber sido escaneada de un negativo analogico no ha salido del todo mal .Es una bonita composicion ya lo creo y para ser del año que es pues que ya echabas grandes fotos maestro del azul. Esa piramide maya me recuerda los dos meses que hemos estado trabajando sin parar en la falla ,para recrear una muy parecida hecha de madera en la entrada a una calle de mi barrio y que nos valio el 2 premio de calles adornadas en valencia .El lema era " La historia del chocolate " , te pongo un ws para que veas como quedo.

Hi Manuel,
very difficult light.
I wouldn't probably even try to do it.
But the result is very pretty. The sky is beautiful and the shape is very well framed with the trees.
Good work.

Hola Manu,

Aunque escaneada y pierde calidad me gusta ese ambiente y tan frondoso y verdoso, parece una escena de pelicula, monumento maya muy bueno, me gusta! Quizas un poco de contraste que quitaria ese brillo que tiene.

Saludoss,
Elena
