Hey Bill,
Looks like an HDR?....as the shadows look good but there is a pronounce glow around the ruins....but overall the colors look good. I think a more careful revisit in PP'ing will take this up a notch and while you ar eat it....consider more of a pano crop to further emphasize the ruins....starting with the sky first. Just some ideas to consider!
Hi Bill, love the light with good placement of the ruins. This has a bit of an HDR look to it as Roman mentioned. The image would work as a pano crop and I would also look at just cropping out about half the clouds.
I've been to Hovenweep and haven't seen this angle taken...
Thank you all for the comments. I agree and I looked back at my files; the image is indeed an hdr ( not a very good one at that) Sorry about the poor quality of the conversion, I can do better now. I was just starting to experiment with Photomatix when I did that conversion. Hovenweep is not far from where I live so I do go often enough to get some good lighting and angles. The suggestions help.
I love Hovenweep. Especially the ruins that are separate from the main facility. I like that you captured the ruin in snow. Processing might be a little strong (as already mentioned) but I think you have a good image to work from.
