    Default Long standing stelae Axum

    Hey all,
    This, almost 2000 years stelae has been shot several times by many. For me, whenever I get the chance to shot it, I try to get a different version of it. What do you think? Which versions do you prefer?
    cheers,

    oh that is a cool, um, 'thing'. I prefer the colour version.
    I might consider a different crop to take out a lot of the sun, leaving the flare so that it doesn't dominate.

    I'm with bambi unfortunately - I don't find the sun works here.
    The colour version has more detail in the structure so that's the one I prefer.

    I might try this when then sun is behind the structure.

    I also think the flare is too much ... from a different angle, with the sun just peeking out from behind the stelae might have worked better.
