Post Stonehenge - not quite there yet..

I am not quite there with this one yet, something is not working for me and I'm not sure what it is. Any pointers are welcome.

Maybe choosing a different spot for shooting would have helped, because I think the left side is too much crowded by all thos "stones"...

Horizon is tilted, monument is in the center of the photo. Try with the rule of the thirds, it usually works fine with this kind of images.

I agree with the others and maybe taking the people out of it if you have photoshop or something alike!

It's hard to tell the horizon is tilted what with all the dips and hills. But if you put a line across the bottom of the rocks you can see it is tilted a little. I also vote you lop off the people, or whatever, on the right edge on that bit of concrete.

Did you do any editing to the color of the sky... it seems like it is leaning towards the purplish tone... maybe more blue and trying to crop the photo to change placement of the rocks

To me it is underexposed with no detail in the subject. Try the "shadows/highlights adjustment.

I,m not sure it is level, but more so you need to move, take it from a different place/angle. At the moment this is boring. The subject is smack in the middle of the picture, nothing to draw the eye in. Just my 2 cents worth
