I have added a bit more drama to the star trails and increased the highlights on the horizon to give more of a silhouette around the stones. I have also removed the bushes on the far right as I found these slightly distracting and thought they imbalanced the shot slightly.
This is a composite image. The background star trails were taken on a recent shoot in Saltburn By The Sea and the foreground was shot during the day on a trip to Stonehenge back in May 2013. This is the kind of image I imagined getting on that trip but due to the site being heavily guarded at night I couldn't gain access so I had to improvise on the picture I wanted to create.
92 x 30 second exposures
ISO 400

Plus the foreground layer.

Your image here reveals and acknowledges some of the wisdom, logic, reason for this structure and makes the ancient people and their dependents proud, I thank you.
