hahahhahahah I lol'd.

What ARE those two things anyways?

This is a dramatic image. I like the point of view. It conveys an impression of large size. The color of the clouds is a nice contrast.

However, I have the vague sense that it's not quite level. The picnic bench, park bench, and circular thing clutter up the background. I would crop them out or try to remove them with a slight change in camera position.

yeah , i spent quite some time trying to figure out the best way to level the picture. and this was the closest i got to a level photo.

yeah ill crop it and see how it turns out , thx for the tip !

YMMV, but here's my take.

The original had a better feel to it with the monoliths placements, but as stated above the benches and that tree clutter up the background and distract from the image.

The problem with the crop is that it's now a center centric composition and as is is fairly static and boring.

The second issue that I have is the hilights - the ground around the blocks is way too bright and the green (grass?) behind on the lower left is distracting and detracts from the overall composition. This can probably be helped with some adjustments to the exposure with some burning

Composition-wise I think rule of thirds placement would help if you had the space.David duChemin has a nice article on placement that might help.

Your flickr has some nice images in it.

alright , ill check it out , thx man
