 I´m currently in Peru on a conservation / archaeology project. There was a landslide just before i got here so i had a day to waste and so i went to this place, it is very difficult to walk around these things at 3km above sea level, and i also found it difficult to take a nice "landscape" shot as there were either people, mountains or ruins in the way ;) This was the best one; thing is, that mountain in the background is massive but you cant really tell from the photo, it is just crazy how big these mountains are around here.

Anyway - not sure how this will be received as a "Landscape" as it isnt completely just "land", but hey... i had nothing else and i wanted to post something at least.

An image of two halves - I like how one half shows us the amazing stone-work of the ancient builders and the other shows us it's environment - connected and yet separated by your composition. Only negatives for me, both minor, are the shadow at bottom right and also the image just seems rather strongly sharpened, though perhaps that's just the strength of light and shadow?

good shot except for the shadow at bottom left, should have been cropped off. like how the housing and mountain mirror each others shape
