A great upload i really like how the brick work looks so dramatic. I would have possibly tried to get less of the sun into the frame as it seems to distract from the main subject but that is only my personal opinion. Thank you for sharing
You're lucky that sky is blank, it would have changed the shot drastically. But nevertheless, this picture is BEAUTIFUL. Especially love the sun filtering through the trees. This castle is very beautiful. You don't see any of these around. :P Great choice in making this one B&W, also.
Love this shot. I like the vertical shot of the tower and the sun through the trees.I wonder what this might have looked like with the sun a little more over your shoulder or behind you.That might have enhanced it or ruined it who knows.
