The sunbeams make it possible to see the detail in the column, and add a mysterious side to the scene. Well done.

Powerful shot. The light is increadible. Two little things bother me a bit. The cable across the picture and the sign on the colunm, but there was nothing you could do about it. Very nice shot. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

what a great shot! i like the composition and the place but a little monk at the top of these stairs should give a bigger power. The ray of light are really interesting. a little bit more of sharp would be better. Again, an impressive and beautiful shot that you've give to my eyes. thank you.

Welcome to TE Craig. This is a lovely contribution with wonderful light and fine texture created by the steps carved into the cave wall. Wonderful point of view, gazing up the steps into the hazy light coming between the natural arches. It reminds me of walking up stairs into a chapel at Salisbury Cathedral with light pouring in on me and an organ playing ethereal music. This has an other worldly quality to it that is very lovely. Fine work.

The atmosphere, the colours, the light and the composition are fantastic. The only point of critique might be the shield in the middle and the cable in the foreground. Is it possible to take them away?

Hi Craig, very nice beautiful and breathtaking composition. Sun rays have been beautiful captured and so are the pillars and walls all around, even the deformed shape of the pillars have shown their beauty in the composition ans nice POV chosen too.

Hi Craig,
Amazing capture of light, and the point of view leading us up the stairs is very magical. This makes me think of Indiana Jones, stunning capture.
Best wishes
