Photographer’s Note
This shot was taken from the top of the Sun Piramid in Chichen Itza. The people are actually going up the stairs ...
I only cropped this image, hope you'll enjoy it.
Thx.

Superb angle! Problem: where is the focus? The stairs? All the people? The climbing couple? IMHO it would have been better had you used a longer lens to concentrate the viewer's attention on just one person or the couple, and brought them closer to the center of the picture.

Very neat point of view. I have heard these pyramids are very steep to climb. And your point of view really gives that effect here. It also really plays nice tricks on what we are looking at. I like how you made the angle the horizontal surface and the standing and walking people seem to be at all kinds of odd angles to the surface. Certainly a gravity game. Great idea!

Amazing composition and DOV. Need a few moments to interpretate it. Difficult to climb ?

I think this is my favorite of the series (although the second one is also quite good). A very good point of view and angle given to the picture, that could make us think, at first glance, that the people are working on a road, but then we see the stairs, and we feel very uncomfortable! :^) The two people climbing up gives a dynamic to the pictures, and are well positionned in the composition, it seems to me the focus in on them, good idea, our eyes see them first. Then, we follow the diagonal lines given by the side of the pyramid on the left. Only after we discover the people sitting, trying to go down in an akward position. I really like this picture where there is a lot to see.

what a struggle it is to climb this, I guess it is very good for people on a diet.
Well seen and nice angle too
Well done
