Hello Selen,
beautiful mountain landscape, the mountains are gently touched by the sun rays. I like the soft contrast light and the mountains which look a bit in a haze.
regards,
Elena

Hi Selen. Here in TE you can find thousand of photos of MAchu-Pichu, but this one has a great magic because of the light, showing us a different look of such an impresive place. I guess you were there very, very early. Take care.

Hi Selen!
Beautiful shot of Machu Picchu. I like the composition and especially the light refecting on the ruins. Great colours and DOF also. Good work!

Son derece imrendirici!
Buranın bu klasik noktadan belki de binlerce fotografını gördük ancak sizinkinin yumuşak ışığı ve renkleri bir başka güzel görünüyor. Filtre, şu 90 derece yandan bakınca adamın burnuna gelen tepeyi biraz karartmış galiba, ama yine de toplamda şahane bir etki, pırıl pırıl bir sabah, elinize sağlık.

Merhaba,

Gercekten mukemmel, bir yaniyla sadece Machu Picchu'nun fotografi ama isigin kullanimi, kompozisyon, havadaki tek bir kus...her seyiyle -unutulmus kayip sehir- duygusunu veriyor.

Tebrikler.

Beautiful picture. I really like the way the light falls on the steep cliffs behind the "city". Breathtaking landscape, and it's nice to have both for-, middle- and background. Thanks for posting.
Regards
Patrick

Great shot with great exposure, although the grad filter shows up in the darkening of the tip of Huyana Picchu (did you try HDR on this one? ;)
Overall a very good framing and great Point of view that avoids most of the tourists waiting for the sunrise.
Technically challenging and artistically rendered (nice touch with the bird too), it reminds me of my own pictures in Peru last year :D

That 10-22mm lens seems very good, how are you satisfied with it so far? I'm new to DSLR with my EOS 450D, and I'm amassing a lens package one piece at a time.
