The Treasury

Hope this fits the M&N category, if not feel free to remove it...

This was taken during a performance of 'Petra at night' in front of the Treasury in Petra/Jordan. People have to buy an extra ticket to be able to visit part of the site at night, which is illuminated by candles...

I had heard mixed reviews about the whole thing, but for me it turned out to be one of the more memorable experiences of visiting super-touristy Petra...

Blend of 2 images (one for the candles, one for the rest)

Thanks for looking,
Karsten

Must have been a magnificent experience judging by this wonderful image. Can't think of any improvements.

Wow what an outstanding image! You mastered the exposure perfectly, even down to the stars in the sky. Excellent!

super-touristy or not - you came away with an extraordinary image. (which is extremely difficult (at least for me) in super-touristy places...

)

Super shot - I love the wide angle, lighting and of course the beautiful starry sky. Would love to see the metadata as well. Very nice!
