La Cueva Ventana 1

La Cueva Ventana 1

My first photo at La Cueva Ventana (The Window Cave). You walk through a pitch-black cave with the only light being your flashlight. Then you turn a corner and see this. The processing isn't HDR, but I adjusted the highlights, midtones, and shadows separately in groups. As I was processing it, it reminded me of the Flemish painter, Pieter Bruegel the Elder. HIs paintings showed the life of common people in the foreground and often a deep landscape flowing into the background. I don't think I was conscious of the similarity of this capture when I snapped the shutter. But I've always loved those paintings, so they must have been somewhere in my mind as I composed this photo.

Dawn is pointing to an entrance to an anteroom to the cave. The actual entrance to La Cueva Ventana is farther up the trail and around a bend.
