Artist's Comments

A photo I hadn't yet uploaded, but once again the lure of black and white tempted me and this was the result. I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

Petra, in Jordan, truly is a wonder to behold and deserving of its place as one of the new wonders of the world.

Petra Redefined by =elgarbo The suggester writes, "I love the way the landmark is hidden between the cliffs, giving it even more mystery than it contains on its own. This is a place I would love to visit, and the setup of the shot makes it even more appealing. The light coming from the background, with the silhouette of a person walking into the darkness, gives great mood and perspective to the image as well. I think this photographer is very talented and deserves much more recognition that he has received. The whole gallery is definitely worth a view!"

That's a really cool picture. I love the architecture in the background and the seeming majesty of your natural surroundings. Nice shot.

i love the soft tones of the architecture with the contrasty rock in the foreground. i'd love to see that myself.

Reminds me of the one in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Love the exposure and contrast in this. Just wish the person wasn't there...

Wow, that's one of the places I really want to visit before I die. Is it particularly hard to get to?
