Please let me know if you can view the image at this link.

I am signed in to FB.
This link says it is not available at this time.

Hi Ken

Thanks for letting me know. I've recently discovered that the
'problem' stems from Facebook's sharing permissions - one can only
share images from a Public group (mine is 'private' - although new
members will be welcomed, I'm sure!).

Please look here to find the image. If you cannot reach it there,
let me know and I'll ask permission to copy it.

That's not stunning. Looks nothing like Stonehenge. It just a
bunch of copy and paste elements of one part of it to create a
different henge with an over-saturated sunset sky dropped in
(rather badly, if I might add). The foreground does not even look
like its from there. I know Stonehenge and to refer to this image
as "Stonehenge" is very misleading. It is merely, again, a
composit of many elements and IMO should not even be considered a
photograph. It is an attempt (not a good one) to be an artisic
impression of "a" henge but not a photograph of Stonehenge.

Being 'eagle-eyed' you might have spotted this comment by Jesse
himself on 20 January ....

"Stonehenge II located in Ingram Texas on the Hill Country Arts
Foundation property."

Then you should have referred to it as that in your Subject line.

I hadn't realised at the time I made my post. There was no intention to
mislead anyone. My apologies for any offence caused. At least you've
learned something new!

FYI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge_II

Hmmm. If you ever get to visit the real Stonehenge you will realise
what I mean when I say that this is "tacky".

I used to live in Somerset and have visited Stonehenge many times. My
children will have fond memories of being able to clamber in and around
the granite stones!

The image certainly DOES look stunning when filling the screen of my
27in iMac with a Retina display! Possibly not quite so much if you
are looking at it on a smart phone! ;-)

Its a poor, over-worked composit image, with poorly thought out
colouration/saturation. Also, you only have to look at the the
transition between sky and treeline and concrete slabs to see that this
is a very poor attempt at playing with photoshop.

If the creator of this image felt he needed to **** about so much when
creating it then I have to ask why he thought it necessary to keep the
treeline in the picture in the first place. He may as well have
removed the trees from the image as they really add nothing but to
enhance the poorly executed photoshopping.
I am sure a ten year old could have done better.

You should tell that to the photographer directly. Maybe even give him
some help and advice.

If you think this is a "stunning" image then you have very simple
tastes, that is all I can say.

I have an open mind and try to see the good in everything.

Enjoy your day. :-)
