Many Hands Ruin - Mystery Valley, Navajo Nation, Arizona
D810, 21mm, ISO 64, f/7.1, 1/30s

If you look carefully on the cliff face just above the ruin you can see some whitish patches.  These are petroglyphs of hands.  there are hundreds at this site.  From our Navajo Country and North Rim workshop.

Image taken in color, processed with SilverEffex Pro with an opacity of 80% allowing the actual color of the area to just bleed through.

Beautifully composed shot of this interesting place. That's a creative building technique -- an awesome skylight. I can't help wondering what's holding the outermost layer to the cliff -- it looks like a giant guillotine about to fall. Nice work on the processing, the partial color looks great to me.

I like your use of the 80% opacity in place of sepia toning. Moreover, it seems to appear natural and not the result of an applied tone.
