I think this is a good choice for the black and white contest entry. A great view through the archway of the abbey with very distinctive detail. Good luck in the contest

Great job shooting this. The perspective is excellent, the under the bridge was taken at a great angle. Overall a great presentation. Thanks for sharing.

Good entry into the contest with the building framed by the arch entry.
Use of black and white enhances the age of the scene.
Good focus throughout and texture of the stone is shown well.

These old structures just look great, and I especially like the editing you have done making this photo almost look like an old post card. It has also enabled you to bring out truly great textures.

The photo is sharp showing such clear and well defined details, and the exposure is very good.

The photo is nicely cropped, and the building in the background is nicely framed by the foreground arch. It is a lovely and well taken photo with an creative editing, and I wish you luck with the contest.

An out-of-the-box presentation of an old abbey. You have framed it well. The focus, clarity, light, and composition have worked well. Good luck!
