  2. Katherine Lee Strassburg Says:

    WOW! What a wonderful place. You picked the perfect framing to make the viewer feel as if they are there in person. Thanks for taking me there.

  3. ollie Says:

    very nice

  4. Srirama Raja Says:

    Great Shot.

  5. Anurag Anurag Says:

    Good shot, just a few nits

    -the stone in the background on the right should not have been cut, some amount of margin could have helped.
    – the sky is too much darkened in the upper part for my liking, even the upper portion of the stone seems to have been darkened.

    Of course these are my views and small nits :-)

  6. Malta Photography Malta Photography Says:

    Very nice shot and perspective, was this taken with bracketing or HDR ?

  7. planet lover Says:

    Great shot. I’ve put the Isle of Lewis on my list of places to visit. Thanks for sharing!

  8. Ellie Ellie Says:

    Never heard of this place, wow, how intriging!
    Great shot, gives me a good minds eye view.

    I like everything about it. The way you darkened the top of the sky brings my eye nicely down to the center rock.

  9. Marie Dunphy Harding Says:

    Wonderful! Were the stones erected for any particular purpose with that specific spacing; memoriam, perhaps?

  10. Renee Renee Says:

    The sky color of the sky is great, and the green green grass is also nice, wonderful photo. Congrats

  11. jacques bégin Says:

    Interesting memorial from our ancestors, I bet ladies didn’t have much to say on the design.

  12. a. Says:

    What great perspective! I love that rock formation. Great work!

  13. Charlena Charlena Says:

    totally awesome shot

  14. Pauline Jones Pauline Jones Says:

    I have just come back from Carnac in France where there are a lot of standing stones; the island of Gavrinis is well worth a visit. It seems that a pre-Celtic culture spread from Northern France to Britain and Ireland well before Christ.

    The Standing Stones-MAGNIFICENT!

  16. Su Su Says:

    Nice shot, thank goodness these have been preserved.

  17. Rajib Singha Says:

    Good shot Colin. Keep it up.
