Lovely B & W conversion , great atmosphere and amazing depth to the shot it makes you feel as if you could walk right through it .( hope that didn't sound too cheesy )

I've stayed near hjer several times but never gotten round to visiting.
very dramatic version, like the composition (except for the clipped off stone on the right, if only there was a little space outside it)

looks like an old oil painting

Cathus its worth a visit in the right light but patience will be needed if you dont want anyone in shot.
I know what you mean about the lack of space on the right.
Thanks for the comment Andy

Cracking shot and composition. Love the clouds and light. :D

I feel the sky distracts from the stones, as it is a very dramatic sky. I don't know this area, and would have liked more emphasis on the stones than the sky. Maybe an 'envelope' crop,with less sky.

That depends on what he is trying to say with the photo. I think the dramatic sky adds to the mystery of the stones and shows it's mystic religious aspect, which is why it was build here in the first place. :D

I understand, but I'm still fairly new at all this.
