A little experimental - King Robert The Bruce Giant

I took this photo about a year ago at Stirling Castle and I came across it while looking for some other shots and decided to try and work it a little. I know it breaks a few compositional rules, but I thought the way it ended up looked quite interesting.

This shot is designed to look slightly "stylised" and I would be interested to know what people think of it, so all comments / feedback welcomed.

Canon 350D / 18-55mm kit lens
55mm ISO 200 1/320 sec @ f/13

No comments?

I like it. Very beautiful country and a great historical figure. He wasn't too concerned about the rules.

Thanks Jungle, I appreciate the feedback. I've been in Scotland for 3 years now and still the countryside amazes me every time we venture out into it! I just wish I could spend more time exploring it (and less time stuck in an office)

Cheers,
Graham

Great pic! Clouds make it dramatic.

I like it,rules are made to be broken,lovely shot i like the pp

Great shot, are the clouds real?

Thanks for the kind comments BB18, adifor and tumblew33d!

The clouds are all real and original and have not been tweaked directly. When I de-saturated the blue of the sky (and reduced the luminance) it seemed to bring the clouds out.

Very nice - good idea.

Thanks for taking the time to comment red hot sheep, much appreciated.
