He must have been a kind employer for his employees to feel that way about him.

It's clearly in a very dominant position, which may be relevant.

It seems that somebody tried to make a copy of the monument (foreground) in a quite simple way. But, to my opinion, he failed ;-)

The monument looks pretty good against the sky. I really like the way it's colour matches the surrounding rocks. You've captured the detail in the stonework very well Andy.

I love the foreground interest provided by the boulders. There is a great analogous colour scheme throughout the scene. Cheers, Joe
