For me there's a bit too much sky / clouds.
Maybe crop it to panoramic? Or maybe close to rule of thirds.
Nice colors but I'd increase the contrast and/or luminance slightly.
thanks for posting
remember, while rule of thirds is a great technique, it's not an absolute must. Once you take many photos using the composition rules, then you start breaking them from time to time for a specific reason. In this case, as others have mentioned, it really evokes the vastness of the space and how small man is in relation to all else.
For me, the photo also begs the question, were these grave markers for those lost at sea, never to return home to their families? Great composition and balance Rense! The only thing that detracts a little for me is the slight halo around the church, especially on the left side. Unfortunately, that's not easily controlled with a bright subject against a darker background as it's usually lens related. You could get rid of it with a little "burning in" PPing, but that's way more work than I'd want to do. Keep 'em coming!
