IMHO, this is the best picture so far with a composition angle I haven't seen before.

The angle is thanks to Ron Wright who saw it first and kindly let me take his place.
The perspective is thanks to the 17-35mm f/2.8D ED AF-S, not a common lens when most images in books were made.
The other important feature of these images is that thanks to the State Ministry of Culture and the National Institute of Anthropology and History, we were granted special (and very rare) permits to come into Chichen Itza at off hours, before sunrise and at sunset.

This one is great!
I was there about a year ago and I already thought you guys had to have some special permits, or sun was setting very early!
Wish I could have taken this shot, because I found it hard to find refreshing angles and different photo's

This is a magnificent shot and I, too, love the angle, actually angles, in it. You did justice
to the mystery and intrigue of this site.

We had special permits to enter the area before opening time and stay beyond closing time.
Otherwise the crowds always get in the way and the light is harsh.
It helped that the Governor of that sate was my son's classmate ;-)
