Abandoned

[Elliot87]

So I wasn't able to get the shot I wanted for last weeks weekly challenge, as rain drove me back to my car before I could get up to the main Rothley Castle ruins. I managed to head back up there today and get a few shots. The lighting was a bit boring but I'm reasonably happy with some of the shots I got.

This is the one of the castle itself which I think turned out best. I'd love to hear any and all feedback and criticism Thanks.

Just noticed -1.33 exposure compensation, no idea how that happened as it's not something I've had the need to use yet.

Perfectly under-exposed too !
If you want critique, I'd have less greenery and more of that sky...really dramatic with those ruins. I like the shot as is though.

I kinda like it overall. It is a bit busy with the foreground and cloud details, but not a bad composition.

I'm thinking black and white.

A bit more like this?

Here's a B&W version

I like both the new color and B&W.

Like the shot either way. Am I the only one seeing the cross points?

#5 yes, for me, looks excellent. Never thought of B&W, but with that sky, super idea.
