Original – Ruins of the tomb of Cambyses I, father of Cyrus the Great, in Pasargadae, Iran.
Reason
Well-composed, highly detailed shot of an interesting ruin. This angle shows the surviving structure, the parts which have fallen, and modern stabilization efforts. The king whose tomb this is was poorly documented, and this is perhaps as good a representation of him as we can have.
