From Wikipedia: An inuksuk is a stone landmark used as a milestone or directional marker by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic. Inuksuit differ from some cairns in significance. The Arctic Circle, dominated by permafrost, has few natural landmarks and thus the inuksuk was central to navigation across the barren tundra.

Inuksuit vary in shape and size, and perform a diverse array of tasks. It is a symbol with deep roots in the Inuit culture, a directional marker that signifies safety, hope and friendship.

PP includes: Crop, levels, brightness/contrast, saturation adj., then resize, USM and NI

To me, the Inuksuk is placed a little to high in the frame. But, out of respect for a lesson learned and because like the idea of stones acting in the capacity of a human, I'll give it a 10.

The colors seem a bit odd on my screen, keeping more of the foreground in focus would have benefited the photo, in my opinion.

more of the sky could have been cropped to give more emphasis to the rocks

interesting photo!
I think there is a bit too much sky and the right branch is disturbing.
