They definitely were built to last! Very nice image.

Cool shot. I like this type of composition because it shows the scale of the cliff wall compared to the little hidden ruin, and is almost like a "where's waldo" game to find the ruin. Especially with the large format where I assume the ruin still has lots of detail/resolution. Nice light as well!

I agree with Jack's words.
I think that some creative dodging and burning could be used here to great effect.

Another Kayne image with a very powerful sense of scale (like your recent aspen shot). Excellent.
Very nice shot - I agree with Jack and Jesse - the scale makes it very powerful.

Ditto on the great sense of perspective and scale. The semi-circular patterns on the wall remind me of the small markings you see on flakes and points also made by the builders. Cool correlation going on there.

Very nice!

Yeah, this one screams SCALE! Wonderful comp and light.

I love the comp, Joe. My first thought upon opening this was B&W with some dodging and burning!
