Try shooting a bit later in the afternoon the light comes from the right and it casts long shadows across the carvings, giving depth. From the left side of the main entrance you can see the staircase that drops into the subterranean level; it’s a good framing device. If you step a few steps down, the shaft of light that rises from the bottom will highlight the lintels and make the intricate details pop. This angle shows the full vertical span of the well and lets you capture both the surface and the underground corridors in one frame.
