Very powerful image. One must take more than a minute to really appreciate what you have captured here. Incredible color balance, and obviously a tremendous amount of patience.

I like the composition here. :-) I would crop a few mm on the top, because the signs of rotation have remained there. I would leave more space on the bottom, a few cm because the greens would add a nice colour element to the blue and terracotta colours. Maybe a bait more saturation would help, too. Try these, and I think you will get a very nice result. :-)
