First off I apologise for his hand being so bright. This handsome chap is part of a display in the chapel tower. It goes through the history of castle chapels. I just had to capture him as he blessed us. Of course I am not sure I would like to get so close to him at night. Who knows, maybe its his shadow that can sometimes be seen walking the battlements. Thank you for looking xx

Thanks Jo. He looks like he could scare the kiddies. Love the angle you chose. Makes him look even more foreboding. I imagine he does walk the halls. Probably looking for the other monks. This is good photo and your tour is very interesting. Makes it nice for those of us that can't go in person. Have a good weekend.

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows. The Ghost

Great shot Jo. Don't really know what you could have done about the hand. He's an ugly old...monk isn't he? I wouldn't want to meet him on a dark night!!

You could darken his hand down in post work, but he's scary enough without more emphasis on his face!!
