Stone and Mountain Photo

Photographer’s Note

In the city of Macchu Picchu, up on the hill, there are several stones that reflect the landscape. I wanted to get a picture from this city that hasd´t been seen a thousand times before, hence this one. Oh, and by the way, it takes ages to get there.

Nice shot Nick and yes you are right, everyone seems to photograph the one that has been seen over and over again. I like this one a lot, but I was tempted to see if I could improve it. See what you think.

Original way to see Machu Pichu. Maybe you made a important discover :-) as the shape really look similar to the mountain in the back and the stone seems to have been carved by human. Well, maybe not also...
Very sharp and brillant picture anyway.
A special note for Nina's excellent workshop.

Very nice POV and general composition. I know what you mean about needing to look for another way to "see" a well known spot. You've done that well here, with the clearly ancient cut stones addingg the human element to the scene.

The focus seems soft, needs sharpen or...

Vraiment intéressant de voir ces pierres mais une question retera toujours dans ma mémoire: comment et avec quel instrument ils ont taillés ces pierres!
Merci pour la photo Nick, elle est différente des autres que j'ai vu.
Salutations.
