wonderful work , I wished i could have perceived it in the same way while standing there a long time ago although it was still very majestic and captivating. As for composition , I find the piece well balanced and incredibly atmospheric! IR is a brilliant idea , may i ask what time of the day this was taken ?
Great photo
it's so hard to get any photo of Stonehenge that looks remotely original as it is one of the most photographed places in the world and instantly recognisable
Infra red is so fantastic for Megalithic monuments
it's like they have been waiting 4500 years for the invention of Infra red photography
I have a few photos of the stones in IR too

Love the black and white. Can I draw it? I am a graphite artist and would like your permission to draw this. The sky is exceptional. Give it some thought. Thanks

Thats really wild looking. Never seen a photo of the Stonehenge that looks this way. Great shot. Is that snow on the ground?
I've seen so many great shots of Stonehenge, but this is fantastic
very dreamy and mysterious!
Thank you!

Thank you!
I agree with below! Easily the most striking picture of stone henge i have EVER seen!! And lord knows there are millions! Well Done!
I love the white "mist" surrounding the base of the stones. CAptured the moment so beautifully. Well done
No doubt the best picture I've seen of this place. Surreal, beautiful, impressive. A wonderful sky where we can detect a nice slight clouds motion, a general beautiful IR effect which enlights the greens and darks the blues, and stands out the stones. The composition is great and the monochrome option is one of the photo values, too. Congrats for this amazing work.
1ST PLACE 
What draws my attention here more than other takes on this location, since it's litterally hundreds of thousands, is the eerie/mystic feeling that's been captured here. To use the little more darker approach and combine that with the long exposure time you have a very dark shot that, atleast for me, works very very well with the atmosphere around Stonehenge alone.
Composition wise, well, there's not much to be said other than fantastic job all over. Angle, height, light, shadow... it's all there and nicely done.
I applaud you for making this shot to be as good as I find it. Landmarks might be THE hardest thing to bring some originality towards. Great job mate!

The only slight critiques I might offer would be:
1. The composition feels ever so slightly unbalanced. The heavy mass of the stones in the center of the frame lack the contrast evident in the periphery stones, making my eyes want to wander out of the center of the frame. This in itself is not a problem, but I end up feeling like the focal point of the image is incidental, in the bottom left corner, versus a key point in the composition.
2. There seems to be some slight smudges on the top of some of the stones. Birds? I feel that quickly photoshopping them out could help sharpen that central form.
Overall though, the image is superb. Excellent contrast, great subject, and absolutely stunning treatment.
