Photographer’s Note

More traditional shot of Machu Pichu. It´s better there later in the day after the last bus has gone down, but with 1500 people going ther eon a slow day it is nearly impossible to get a shot without someone in it.

Very nice pic of the machu pichu, it reminds me the only time I've gone in this place it was a really rainy day.

Beautiful captured light and shadows. The fact that you waited around for the people to leave is brilliant. I like that there are a few stragglers left, it helps demonstrate the proportions. I love how you show the viewer the sense of being in the clouds. Excellent work.

Its true, there are many people at the same time in Machu Picchu; most of my pictures are filled with tourists.
This is a classic image but with the sun at an unussual position. Nice.

Been there. Lovely place. You took it from a good angle. Maybee sharpened it a bit too much.
