I like the graininess and contrast you can get at these castles.

I like the softness of the processing, the walls in these places just scream history, its as if the tones and textures tell their own stories.

Looks like a 700 year old photo (just teasing!) - distance affected?

I have really liked your recent images, but this one is way out in the lead. Superb scene and perfectly processed. The softness really does add to the mood it creates and the tones are wonderful. Very nice Stu, very nice indeed.
