Nass,
What a dramatic sky. You've put a great narrative with it on Flickr. It looks like it defies gravity, particularly now that it has only three supports.
Would a little less foreground bring a greater focus to the mound perhaps?

Yes Berg, you're quite right - the problem I often get is that the image becomes so wide and thin!
Plz, no posted re-edits... thanks

Great shot. I think the 10mm distortion helps here, making the top stone appear longer than it probably was. I tend to agree with iBerg about the foreground, might have preferred it a little closer.

Yeah - but I do wish I had a bit more sky in the original, then I could have done that. Also this was the fisheye and the CA is just horrendous - I hope to order that new sigma 8-16 when and if it ever arrives and when and if the bank gives me another mortgage
Ah well, there's always this year's summer hols to get a better perspective - although I am down there for a week's break over easter. Doubt I'll get to here again though unless there is some interesting weather around that merits it =)
Cornwell is legend for stuff like this, there are stones all over the place. Fun fun fun

Really nice dramatic shot although I would have been tempted to get closer myself. Great conversion and sepia toning. Lovely spot too, one of my favourite bits of the country although my family is further north near Boscastle.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
