The Mighty Stonehenge

Description

I cropped my original capture of the Stones'into a panoramic-like crop, then I change the dull sky with a better one. I then applied the Topaz Adjust filter on it. If you will notice, there is a tiny image of a man behind the Stonehenge. I intentionally did not clone it out because this entry is a tribute to that man who have done quite a work to make this world a better place to live in. May God keep him safe from harm and give him more strength and oppurtunity to reach out to more people and touch their lives in a spiritually positive way --- as he did mine. To our God be the glory!!!

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 2/100 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 26.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300

Hey, Sherrybear!

Its been a while since you've been my 'early bird', huh?

Thanks for the usual compliments, my friend :) Honestly, I just replaced the dull sky with this one before I applied the filter.

I am thrilled that you liked it the way it turned out and hope that the gang will like it as well. #6380070

I must say that I've seen quite a few images of Stonehenge, but none like this one. I don't want to sound repetitive, but yes ... the color, textures and presentation are great. And the sky is a sure plus. Fabulous work Ulysses.

this is intended to be constructive : for a "mighty" stonehenge I think you need a little more depth of field, and more strength in the sky........ this photo is quite flat, taken in bright/strong sunlight? Please share the settings -
I hope this is helpful. All these cutie remarks are wonderful, but are they really helpful for your progress?
Gosh!
