Castlerigg Stone Circle

Although it didn't turn out to be the sunrise I was hoping for (warm light and

deep red colors) I'm fairly happy with the result. The sun lit the mountains

some 7 kilometers further only for some brief moments. Zooming in at 92

mm (that's 147mm in 35mm equivalent) brings the mountains closer.

Comments welcome, please view larger.

Spectacular in large view, the pink tints are fabulous. 7/7 anon and best regards. Vadim

The pink glow is extraordinary, and you've composed this perfectly with the Stone Ring placed just right in front of the mountains. I had never heard of this place, so I went snooping in your portfolio. What an amazing collection of images you have from Scotland. I presume you're from there. I'm marking you as 'interesting' so I can get back to explore some more another day.

Evocative shot although it's a shame that the foreground is so park-like and devoid of interest.  Did you try a version/crop such that the stones were almost tooth-like?  More sky wouldn't be bad either.  As always, everything is technically spot on. 

I like seeing that trail up to the saddle on the right.   Have you been up there?

This is a new one for me also. I like the way the stones are framed by the mountains.
