Stonehenge

Love the way you used the sky on this. Maybe just me but I find those small buildings or trees on the far left to be a distraction.
 
That is a cool pic. Wouldn't mind doing that with a Holga...
 
I have been to both Stonehenges and the original had a less impressive venue for my tastes. But they didn't really have a lot of choice where to build did they?
Nice picture.

Thanks for the comment! I agree looking at it more about the trees. I'll probably clean it up when I get home from work. I'm glad you liked the sky, I actually did a lot of editing to it!

Thanks! I bet it would look great with medium format!

Thank you! I also found the surroundings to be...underwhelming. Still incredible history, though. With a major road right next to it and people everywhere it was certainly a challenge finding a good angle on it..
 
They wouldn't be able to build that nowadays. Some of the stones used in Stonehenge only occur in Wales and for the Millennium they cut a new one from the original quarry area and wanted to transport it to Salisbury Plain as it might have been done at the time - but it fell off the boat and is now at the bottom of the sea.

You just can't get the staff!

Not just you -- I find them distracting also. Otherwise, a beautiful shot. Wonder how it looks in color?

I think I remember watching a documentary on that. Makes you wonder how many stones were lost by the original builders!

Thanks! I was wondering who was going to ask that question... I may work on a color version, but I would have to start from scratch as this image was heavily edited in PS after the initial B&W conversion, so I can't just go back to color, unfortunately, since the current file doesn't still contain the color information..
