Perfect Kiva

Thanks for taking time to look at this. The photo is flipped

horizontally as I thought the beam of light was better Left to Right

rather than vice versa. No manipulations other than levels and

curves adjustments in PS 7.0. cc

but well executed.

Great job!

That is what I love so much about photography. You get to capture a moment in a not so beautiful place, but the end result is beautiful!!! Great job!

I've shot a few kiva photos but this is better than mine. The lighting is excellent. The beam of light is great. I've photographed Antelope Canyon showing a light beam (see my folder), but this is much better. Nice work.

very nice composition.

Beautiful capture of light and dark tones,this is photography.

Superbely toned and very well executed.

This is very cute. What I implement from this picture is a heavenly light to a stoned heart. May it become full of love and joy.

Nice composition!

I love this... remonds me of Indiana Jones movies.... Going back there with a "chest of gold" and put in place of the rocks would finish the "Indian Jones" movie theme, don't ya think? It's a great shot, and I think the juxtopostion of the image works well.

Agreed with the comments, especially Stacey's. This is nicely done... I very much like the strong diagonal and how the tones are presented.

Light doesn't work that way.

Regarding Terry's comment above:

 

This is true to life. February light does actually shine through the roof like this. 30 second exposure allowed ample time for dust to swirl and accentuate the beam of light. Keep in mind, Terry, this is a subterranean kiva; it's really dark in there.
