Bill let me not be the last to say, "this is a potentially great shot". This is a nice shot really.......but it could have been great. Really great. Everything was here. And you saw them. The perspective is static. That is the only criticism I have. The exposure is spot on and the sharpness it there. The color. Not much more you could do here......except look for a different angle. Yeah! When you find a scene like this, utilize it fully. Did you think to get down low and take a shot looking up? Or just looking at a part of it? Did you try an angle that would get rid of the rain gutter that really intrudes here? That's all I'm trying to say. Look for what is different. Don't stand there and just snap. You have more creativity than that. Look for the lines and the form and try to simplify and find separate elements within what you initially see. Love this shot.....almost. Much more here. Find it. (wink) James

Simplicity is often the key to a great photograph, and this is simple, yet powerful. The angles of the shadow give this image a real sense of depth and perspective. The colors are JUST right...very natural looking. The lighting is high, yet the picture remains warm. I like the composition, angle, EVERYTHING, about this shot. Very well done, Bill. :)

I want to thank eveyone for the encouraging comments and feedback.
This was one of those times when the photo almost took itself. The light in New Mexico at the Taos pueblo was fantastic, everything was very very intense. The ladder in a pueblo is almost a cliche image, but this scene seemed to capture everything about New Mexico - the sky, the clouds, the adobe walls, the high contrast of the shadow caused by the intense sunlight at the high altitudes.
This image impacted me emotionally and I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.
I'm happy this image resonates with so many.
Another user's comment about a "stairway to heaven" seems very apropos.
thanks again,
Bill
