    @kanonkop yes you are absolutely right. I caught this image when we climbed the unexplored cave.After we explored all of the usual passages we climbed down to check out the beauty of Nature. I would like to thank you again for your assistance and guidance in this matter. Definitely I will recompose it when will I be able to visit this land of antiquities again...Thanks a Million!

    really cool story, but the photo just isn't doing it justice i'm afraid..

    I would rather have exposed for the cliffs / lake, as it is blown out and you can't really make it out. the plant is also blocking the view and not adding much to the composition for me, so i would recompose without it
