This reminds mr of Cingular ads. Nice shot though.

Nice perspective, good balance and not over done. Perhaps a bit more light on the stones would have made it a 9 or 10, but still very cool.

Nice group of stones and you've composed the shot well, would have been even better with a slightly more dramtically coloured sky (MHO)

Not Avebury. I wonder where. The silhouettes are fairly pleasing and the sky certainly helps you out.

Nice to see some rocks that aren't stacked on top of each other. This is a very original shot and it meets the challenge well. Serene in nature, balanced, etc. Think it would benefit greatly from some additional saturation of the sky and particularly the orange/reds from the sun. A different angle on the stones to present a more even spacing between them would also help. Overall a nice photo, good job. 5.
