Excellent shot...

the ground in the lower right is a little dark and distracting, but if you cropped it, you'd lose part of the bridge or the sky on the top left, am i right?

And, how in the world did you get to change your name under your username from member to "Tartan abuser"... i'm jealous!

cheers for the comments and yes youre right

Technical perfection is only ever important if it improves the asthetic. It is not the precursor to beauty. Not in art..not in music and not in photography!

It certainly is an iconic castle Mark. I find your shot a little grainy. Was this deliberate processing?

I can also see where the source of the "abandon hope" resurrection occurred too.

i see what you mean John

Just had a look at the pic on my works screen - I have a 24" Dell Widescreen here and by heck its grainy



will need to re-process this one

A nice shot MWS3 but it is looking pretty grainy on closer inspection. Was this shot's exposure bumped up a couple of steps in the foreground to compensate for the backlighting?

cheers

yep i am going to reprocess this one

I can see why, lovely shot Mark but I agree with the rest about the graininess. Would love to see it again if you re-process it.

cheers
