Beaupre Castle in South Wales.

Enjoyed the processing on this one. I did a series of stairways and entrances of the castle and tried to get a consistent black and white style.

All this needs is a cat...or a goat or maybe an old man with a cane.

Nice and gloomy and dark. Very foreboding.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy):

Positives: I like how you have fully committed to your vision for this image; you haven't shied away from the grain, the high contrast or the deep shadows. It all works together very well. Is it the most exciting scene? No; but your post processing has served the image well - you have augmented it and elevated it to something of beauty. There is art in that act.

Critical stuff: Not much really, I really like it - I can't really make any suggestions, I think this is one of those images where even small changes would affect the overall impression greatly, so it is just fine the way it is.
