I love the way you captured the castle through the archway of the stone wall. It makes me want to walk through there to get to the castle and explore it. I love castles anyway. Nice framing.

You are welcome.

Comment from Donna Ruiz
A lovely entry for this contest. I especially like that the viewer can see the detail in the rock in the arch and the rock in the castle. The dried plant in the foreground adds an interesting point in the composition. Good luck in the contest.

Cool! : D
The view that your excellent photo provides us of these old and semi overgrown fortress walls and battlements is quite an interesting and impressive piece,my friend!
It's definitely a 'Good Show'!

A beautifully framed shot. I like the way the tone mapping brought out the detail in the foreground wall. The colors are beautiful and the composition is superb. Best of luck in the contest.

This is an interesting scene. I would like to know where it is. I can't really tell what is between the front wall with the arch and the castle across the way. Thank you for sharing. Good luck in the contest

Good contest entry
I like the texture captured of the brick surround with good use of light,
The castle stands out with good shape in the frame against the clear blue sky. Good luck in the contest.
