Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber

Notes

Shot last week in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, UK. Metabones Canon EF to Sony E Mount Adapter Mark III.<br />
The dolmen dates from approximately 3,500 B.C. and, possibly, was used as a communal burial. The existing stones form the portal and main chamber of the tomb, which would originally have been covered by a large mound of stones about 30 metres (98 ft) long and 17 m wide. As it now stands, the Pentre Ifan Dolmen is a collection of 7 principal stones. The largest is the huge capstone, 5 metres (16 ft) l

The composition here is wonderful. Dolmens are not particularly easy to get good shots of, and you did a really nice job. There seems to be a perfect balance of the heavy groundedness of the vertical stones, with a light, floating feeling from the suspended stone. Trees in the background frame the dolmen perfectly. Great job!

And another winner IMHO! The picture's elegant simplicitiy understates how difficult it must have been to achieve good composition. Great B&W treatment as usual from Mr Watson. Congrats, Steve!
