The direction of the light emphasizes the structure of the rocks.

Strange combination of shapes ... the straight ones in the upper part and the ones on the ground that almost seem to be melting ... great construction taken from a good angle!

Beautiful clarity that can be seen in the rock and their individual dimples. Nice use of lighting as well with the lighted sides and "shadowed" sides of the rocks!
