Kiva Ladder and midday sun

This ladder is not authentic--apparently replaced by National Park Service staff. Wonderfully well preserved Kiva, nonetheless. I was lucky to have mostly cloudy skies, so the light was not too harsh to destroy the interior details. 30seconds @ F22. TMax 100. Thanks!

Is it still a valid piece of "fine art" if the ladder is not

authentic? Thanks. cc

I really like the simple composition, subtle lighting and superb detail of this photograph. Graphically and emotionally it is very strong. Regards, Doug.
