Fling at the Kiva
Ok, here's my interpretation of the False Kiva from the fling this weekend. I sure had fun shooting with all you guys, glad you twisted my arm to go.

Yes! This is awesome, Angela. This needs to be printed and added to your collection for some future (near future, I hope) exhibit/show. :toast:

Nice interpretation, Angela. A shoot you will always remember for sure :wink:
By only nit is the absent of the unicorn. Did you miss him??

A classic, Angela. :toast:

Joe, the hike is best when you have only general directions to the trailhead and are left to explore and "rediscover" the ruins on your own. Being led there or following a GPS track really detracts from the experience. At least that is what I felt when I first sighted the alcove, after a day of wandering.

The hike is short and not difficult, unless you get way off the "trail".
Hiking out alone, after dark, on a moonless night is not recommended. :biggrin:

Very well captured. I hope to go there someday.

Thanks everyone!

Ken, I think the unicorn was hiding with the rainbow behind the ridge, just out of sight :wink:

Very nicely done! Makes me wish I was able to attend!

Looks spot on! Possibly a little more contrast and color pop? Looking on a iPhone so I'm not sure.
