The City of Dawn- Tulumby *tourofnature

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Waterscapes

The ancient Mayan City of Tulum stands steadfast against the warm Caribbean breezes.

Located on the East Coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, this city flourished during the Pre-Columbian era where it served as a major port for the Mayan people of the Yucatan. One of the primary exports was the beautiful black stone obsidian. After centuries of being an important city of the Mayans, it would eventually fall to the invading Spanish settlers. Now, the ruins leave an amazing view into a fascinating and mysterious culture.

Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Canon 5D. 17-40 L. CPL. 3HS GND.

This is a beautiful photo, and the colors really stand out. The contrast from the turquoise sea against the green and gray cliffs is really what makes this picture pop.

This is just me, but I always get bothered by the little strip of land that seems to appear at the bottom of a lot of photographers pictures. To me, you have this beautiful scape, then there is a little patch of something in the foreground that takes away from the overall beauty of the main subject. It would be sort of like looking out a window, but there is a 2x4 right at the bottom of the frame, blocking out part of the view.

Some people use this as a way of showing how far away, or how high up they are in relation to the subject. Which would make sense, but why would you need to justify your vantage point?

This is nonetheless a amazing picture. You gallery is packed full of talent, and there is nothing to say that you don't have a gift. Great job Wayson.
