This is a small Anasazi ruin in Utah that I thought was really cool. The color of the rocks in the ceiling really do look that intense in person; it's an amazing place to be. In terms of editing, I pretty much just enhanced the color and contrast a bit, and gave it a little sharpening. See if you can find the hand-prints!

There's is so much to look at here that I have had to come back to this several times to get a better look at it before I commented. I'm torn between wanting to see the window area closer up, and wanting the image to be a wider angle so I can see the scene in a larger context. So many interesting textures and lines. My guess is that if you had a lot of shots of this area, you had trouble picking one for the challenge - it looks very interesting.

The focus is good, but the perspective seems pretty standard, straight on shot. It's interesting, but hard to decipher exactly what I am looking at and I struggle with whether I like it or not. Good Luck. 5.

but I like yours better.

A curious image - I find it very hard to get a sense of placement or scale. That is by no means a criticism, as the photograph forces the viewer to take time to observe the textural details and pattern.
