The guy was amazing! Since I took this picture I looked him up and saw more of his work. It is all different (same idea) and he stacks rocks that he finds. It was very cool to watch.

I have to say, that it is completely and entirely awesome. It's such an interesting idea, and must have been a lot of work. great capture.

Yeah I thought so too. I wish I could take credit for it...I only took the picture, lol. I got there too late and didnt really see him making them. He was just taking his own pics and he was nice enough to let me in. Thanks for the comment too by the way.

Still super awesome. It truly baffles me how it works.

And he didn't do all the work, your composition and lighting are both very good.
