• Comment from the photographer - This photo was taken after I lost the Sun. There are several in commons category Category:Cliff Palace that were taken while the late-afternoon Sun was still on them that I think look better, e.g. File:Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde Park, Colorado, US (01).jpg and several following that one.

• Support – for the EV (criterion 5). The composition puts it in context, and lack of harsh shadows is a plus. Bammesk (talk) 00:56, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
