What a great little scene to have through these impressive doors; I think it really emphasizes their massive size. Love the red, the pops of gold. Congratulations on your gold 2nd place, Maria. #11468548

Where the hell are the people? What a great shot. I don't know how you did it, Maria. I was there 12 years ago and was unable to get a shot like this. Congratulations on a wonderful photograph and your win. #11471548
