Stones of the Outer Hebrides

Taken in the outer Hebrides. A storm approaching gave a wonderful

dark back back drop to these beautiful standing stones.

I love the light on those stones .... Yes, I do!

...but am also wondering if a teeny touch more Contrast would not have lifted the stones to a higher plane (not literally) ;-) Mike

 

Oops! I just viewed the Larger version after posting this.. and it looks a lot lot better as it is...?!

Agree with Mike that the lighting contributes strongly to this powerful image. Makes you wonder how many storms these boulders have withstood in their time.Regards-Ross

Jane...beautiful light. Very moody and exceptionally right for the type of the scene...!! Light falling the stones are magical...well captured and skillful, regards, Rajeev

dramatic lighting. the contrast between the warm side lighting and the ominous gray clouds is wonderful. i find the left side of the image weaker than the rest, perhaps a tighter crop of the 5 main pillars would focus the viewers eye??

Great shot, the dramatic lighting adds an eerie feel to the scene.

But agree that a cropping off the left hand side just to the right of the stone wall would make this a lot more powerful. I'm jealous I didn't wait for the rain :-)

Hi

 

I do have an identical image wiht a tighter view i will look again at it

Great! This has a surrealistic feel to it.
