Hundreds of years ago maps of the known world always included fire-breathing dragons guarding their margins. These monsters gave visible form to our vast and humbling fear of the unknown. It's what we imagined in our nightmares we might encounter if we walked far enough. Or dared walk too far.
Today there are no more dragons. GPS has seemingly slain them all. But if ever there might have been the chance, through some miracle of failure of mankind's relentless drive to know all there is to know about everything, that a few stragglers retreated far enough and deep enough to survive still, then this photograph might just give a fleeting glimpse of their final refuge.
Thank you all for the comments ! I have been up there many, many times ( this was taken from the top of Temple IV, which no longer can be climbed), and it only looked like this once. And it does have the magic atmosphere Ken described, as I always climbed this spot ar 4:00 A.M., to reach the top still at night, and sit down to listen to the jungle awakening, before first light. You can hear many troops of howler monkeys calling, and if you've never seen howlers, they can easily be mistaken for jaguars .. or dragons !
This is so much more impressive than your original posting of this shot. I can see how it might be difficult to print with the large range of contrast contained within it. I would suggest that you burn in the bottom RHC a bit more or else consider cropping it out. I feel that it draws unnecessary attention to the area to the detriment of the remainder of the picture.
The corners in the scan look lighter than in the print, particularly the lower RHC. I agree, it does look distracting on the screen. Could be reflected light, if the print wasn't totally flat when it was scanned. Looking at the image with a more critical eye, all corners look a bit too light, which is not congruent with the way I print.
