Hi Larry,

I think you’ve documented this pictograph well.

How old is the art work on the wall?

A fine image, Larry. I like the large space that you kept above the petroglyphs.
For me it would be nice to have “something” natural (so not any object that you put there) in the image to give me a sense of scale. But that apparently wasn’t availabel at the scene.

Interesting. It looks as though they are on a trail. There are a few white areas I would clone out. You could also play a bit with the overall color cast if you cared to.

Thanks, Nathan for your comment. The attached link offers more on the history and age of Canyon de Chile than I can offer, https://www.ancient.eu/Canyon_de_Chelly/ Larry

Han, Thanks for you visit and comment. To get more sense of scale the image would have to be wide angle and likely would not work. Also, remember I was on a tour and laboring over images is not in the Navajo tradition.

Thanks, Igor. I appreciate your looking at my images. I did find a couple white spots to remove, but would not remove the ones by the crack in the rock.

The ones by the crack are likely bird poop.
