Series on my Trip to PERU - South America - The MACHU PICCHU Ruins seen from the INTIPUNKU - From September 6th to 22nd, 2007 - # 017 !

INTIPUNKU I - SUN GATE I - PORTAL DO SOL I - PUERTA DEL SOL I - It's the end of the Inca Trail, where the tourists and visitors have the first sight of MACHU PICCHU! I did the opposite way, I was in Machu Picchu and walked up to the INTIPUNKU, having a pretty different view from the ruins, Huayna Picchu (the most known mountain around the area), the Urubamba river and the winding road that take us all up there!

Hi Ney,
I gaze at this wonderful country only. Again a superb photo from the "cathedrals of the nature".... an amazing panorama, again. The POV is very spectacular. It's a picturesque image of this romantic place. Congratulations. Have a nice day!

Hi Neyvan,
A place I'd love to visit, sadly I have to be content to see it through your wonderful photographs.
Another superb capture.
Cheers
Peter

Hi, Neyvan.
Incredible display, this is truly Nature at its very best! As for your picture : an instant classic, one that portrays this unique location in a most truthful way. Hope I'll be able one day to hike on the same trail, just like you did. Superb job, TFS! Have a great day, my friend. I'll be seeing you. Abraços,
Fulvio.

NeyVan, your views of these Andean sights is way better that I have seen else where. From your photo I have a sense of the context of the land, this one showing the road and the ruin and the neighboring hills is wonderful. There is a similar, but not so informative, that first brought me to TE more than 2 years ago. I was looking for a shot of the hotel at Machu Picchu and found it here

Great Capture.

Oi Ney

Tenho certeza que essa é uma das 100 coisas que se deve fazer antes de morrer, visitar esse fantástico lugar.Uma beleza incomparável que você conseguiu capturar em toda a sua essência.
Parabéns.
Abraços
Maria

Hi Ney!
You have a good link in your note......
Great shot of this mystic place.
I love your POV and the composition with these serpentines and the view down at the river.A great shot,but it looks a bit oversharpened at my monitot.
Regards,leo

Cricri (43706) 2009-03-05 9:23

Hi Ney
C'est un paysage merveilleux sur cette image, excellent POV montrent a la fois le serpentin du chemin et la vue plongeante sur la riviére, en tout dans une belle variétés de vert, trés jolie

Hi Neyvan
One of the most intriguing places on earth, I think we still do not know the whole story about this place. Wonderful high POV and colours, a tad oversharpened for my taste, I could leave tomorrow to see this place again.
Regards
Jim

A vista é simplesmente espectacular e as famosas ruinas parecem minúsculas vistas desse lado. Impressionante também, é a estrada de acesso com todas aquelas curvas apertadas.
A foto é linda e só tenho que te agradecer por a mostrares.

Docarmo (8844) 2009-03-05 21:21

Olá Neyvan,
Esta foto está magnífica, com estas imponentes montanhas. A diferença de cor e contraste entre primeiro plano e fundo acrescentou sensação de 3D. Ficou muito bonito!
Parabéns!

Hello,

encore une superbe vue plongeante, cette rouge qui fait comme un serpent et qui brille est fantastique avec la montagne vert et le fond plus bleu, de toute beauté.

Bravo et amitié

Nicou

Hi Neyvan,
What a panorama here! Everything is so clear visible - the machu Picchu ruins, winding road, mountains, Urubamba and maybe even train. I was not in Intipunku, nice to see this place on your photo. Thanks for sharing.

Regards

Malgorzata

amitiés

Hello Ney,

A wild and impressive landscape is well depicted!
That serpent road is a real eye-catcher and it is interesting to see the Machu Picchu from a different point of view...
The scene is well framed and presented in a balanced composition with good details!

Greetings,

Hello Ney
Breathtaking view, from a place I have not seen MP.
I like the depth of the colors, vibrant.
Good idea to have walk up there.
I do agree about the oversharpening mostly visible in the foreground.
To avoid this, after you did your sharpening, go to Edit, click FAde unsharp mask, in the mode menu, choose luminosity and click OK. This way, you will apply the sharpening on the light onstead of the edges.It is more forgiving.
This is under photoshop, should be similar with other programs
Have a good week
Charles

One of my dream places (apart from the Iguazu of course...by the way have you seen the film called the Blue Diamond by Werner Herzog...amazing documentary on the Iguazu).
This is a different view of the Machu Picchu...the serpentine road makes great viewing. The sharpness and light management is excellent, makes this a beauty! Thanks for this different picture from this place, already shown millions of times!
Best Regards
Angshu
