A couple of stacked stone sculptures near the Patapsco River in Old Ellicott City (Maryland). C&C most welcomed.

Fascinating.
Someone put a lot of effort into stacking them so they wouldn't topple.
Any idea how long they've been there?

I rather like the subject and bw treatment. My critique would be that more separation between the rocks and the background would render the subject better.

Interesting shot. Some zen contemplation features…..

Does that lens have a mustache shaped or very strong field curvature ?
I remember a m4/3 Voightlander 17 mm f/0.95 lens i tried that did.
Drove me crazy some times.

Gentlemen, thank you. Eric: I don't know. These stacks were new to me, but I hadn't been to this particular spot in some time. John R: I complete agree with your assessment. degrub: I used a Sigma 35mm ART lens here.

Lovely shot and I agree with John R about the separation.
Bravo!
