Weathered at Cuzco

Here we lie waiting for something to startle
To shake us from gravity's pull
And so sleeping hours are through
What can we do?
		- Cocoon by The Decemberists

Couldn't have not taken this.

The stark processing works well with the isolated patches of texture. Like it!
Samarth: thank you martin...

This is really juicy one, Sam. Wish it was possible to shot it as a total frontal. Have you tried a square crop? Looks like you can squeeze some extra space out of this. Hope you indulged yourself on those doors and windows.
Samarth: i might try a square...but no, i sadly didnt get individual doors and/or windows...

It's like you can FEEL the textures, Sam. Powerful.

Great picture that could have gone excellent if the building was not leaning back like that. I dunno how much leniency you have in the original for lens correction?

For the rest the shot has real character with detail, textures, colours - ah well, everything.
Samarth: thanks louis...bldg was slightly leaning back and its not at right angle because we were on a hill...
I like this - would also like to see a close-up of that door.
Samarth: thanks bernie...i really wish i had the sense to take a close up...
That is a really beutiful shot !
Standing ovation !!!!
Samarth: thank yu very much zeb...

Echo the other comments - like the range of textures particularly ;o)
Samarth: thanks a lot mike...
Amazing textures and tones, it's like stepping back in time. I'm waiting for a Spanish Conquistidor to step out the door.
Samarth: thanks a lot alexandra...

Superb! I was there more than 30 years ago... I guess I look like that old door! ;-)
Samarth: lol, thanks sidney, its lovely...
Now this image I call a classic masterpiece, good use of colours, textures and HDR, well done bro.

As usual, the DRAMA has been sold grin
Samarth: havent done an hdr but i just realised how hdr-ish it looked...thank you suby...
Ooh, this is really something. Incredible textures and just love the color tones that you have held back just a bit.
Samarth: thanks a lot ayash...im usually a bit scared of saturated colours so im happy i managed to get this done...
