Nikon D70s

This picture was taken on the opposite side of the top of the structure seen in the previous photograph.

The angle and the concept of the photograph is on a way a cliche, but it is something that I personally never did.

Post Processing:
Lens distortion: +3.5 to remove the barrel distortion from the wide angle lens
Rotate/Crop: used the measure tool and the arbitrary rotate followed by a crop
Clone Stamp: cloned out some people on the left of the image
Hue/Saturation: The original photograph was very dull in color, I pumped up the color a bit
Photo Filter: I love the Warming 81 filter

Hi Daniel. really nice tones in this image. Ancient places like here and Ankor Wat in Cambodia really do have a kind of majesty about them.
