@Owen: Yes, I was driving down the A303. It was the first leg of my Cornish adventure – i.e. getting to Cornwall! I went to Penzance. It's a long way!
@WadeB: The site is fenced off but I paid a few quid to go in. There's also a 'please do not cross' rope around the actual monument, but my measily 3x zoom sufficed :)

I don't know. The scene is nice, but the composition doesn't thrill me. Crammed in the frame, it makes me feel a bit claustrofobic.
There are several cool elements but they don't work together in the shot. Also I think it is too bad that the shadows are cut off on the left. The birds are close to the stones, which makes the sky seem a bog empty space. Maybe you could crop away some of it.

OK, fess up. You cropped this down. The IXUS doesn't shoot in 1:1 aspect ratio, right?
Anyhow, great shot.
The birds did it, you know.

nowt wrong with a bit of cropping is there?
(as i might say if i was from Yorkshire)
...and yeah, it's a bit tight, but any wider and there would have been bits of other stones protruding into the shot.

gridrunner: I voted this saveme. Personal taste on my part is to have a special, revered place for photos that haven't been cropped, burned, dodged or manipulated in special ways in photoshop. But even though your shot was cropped, it wasn't cropped a lot and it's still great!

BTW -- nothing wrong with dodging, burning, cropping or special photoshop work. It's just different...

newhampster – Fair enough. I happen to think nearly ALL photos should be processed. It's no different to what would have been done in a dark room if one were processing one's own analogue film. How many professional photographers take their film to a 1 hour photo place and make do with the 'default' developing?
Different schools of thought, that's all.
And thanks for the vote! :)

I don't know either... it's a little blurry, a little flat, a little grainy - it's almost snapshot.

Great monument, but not a great photo of it. I don't get any idea of the size of these from the angle you used. If you'd got down a bit lower, maybe. And aren't there more stones than these?
I'd also have liked to have seen some longer shadows - maybe going back later or getting up earlier. Sky looks blown, too. A shorter exposure would have given you more details in the clouds and a more dramatic sky.
The detail of the moss on the stones is cool though.

the birds are real. and, yes... i wanted to convey a sense of it standing alone in nature so i waited until all the other visitors were out of shot (some behind stones etc). unfortunately i guess that does leave nothing to compare it to scale-wise.
i was using a tripod so i should have run up and done a thumbs-up :)

The monument is too contrasty and the sky is on the verge of overexposure. I just don't like the look.

Thank you everyone. A close call, as it was with my previous (and only other) Safe cracker.
I agree with almost all of the crit, except that I don't think it's at all blurry. I used a tripod. The slight fuzziness, visible only on the largest size, is due to the limited electronics in my camera.
But the scale thing is a good point. Maybe I should have got one person in shot for comparison. I didn't think of that at the time.
And if you think it's too tightly cropped, again maybe it is, but for this shot it wasn't possible to go wider without other the stones protruding into the photo. You might prefer this one:

I like the way this shot gives you the feeling of being up there among the stones. You don't get that if you take the whole monument, as it becomes clear you're standing outside the circle.
