The emergence of the unknown

For me photography and art is all about mood and atmosphere, this composition has both in spades. Had this been a picture of a UFO and we were trying to ascertain if it were real or not a critique of the lighting might be fair given that it may not be perfect from a physics standpoint. My imagination is what is evoked here, what happened here?, who lived here? and on and on...The spatial aspects of this piece give it an incredible depth and openness. It also has a personal feel as if I were the one who discovered this ancient structure looming up out of a dark and bitter cold night. Wonderfully done!
