Chand Baori, Abaneri,2
Lens: smc PENTAX-DA* 16-50 mm f2.8 ED [IF] SMD Camera: PENTAX K-7 Photo Location: India ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/45s Aperture: F11 

Really F10 at 1/40. The intricacy of the stairs is captivating. Several people can move up and down simultaneously without hindrance.

Please comment.

Unlike your earlier shot which I like a lot, this one has a few obvious issues:

- It lacks the soul of having a human being in the frame
- the lighting when the shot was taken is too flat and glare-filled. The depth of the structure fails to come through, and the colors are bland.
-the existence of that metal fence makes it look like a tourist site, thus rendering this image to be more of a snapshot.

Maybe this photo would have been a better choice.

I think the second one of these two is the better. The other posting with the person in it I think is more successful as it adds the human element for contrast and gives a sense of scale. I can see this place as a great opportunity for exploring different angles, framing and lighting. On a side note I wonder how many people fall climbing up and down and get seriously hurt?
