Castle Hill, a photo from West Yorkshire, England

Photographer's Note

I will always reciprocate with comments and marks!

A folly atop a hill dating back to the reign of Queen Victoria. A favourite haunt for dog walkers, kite flyers and people upto no good; my car was broken into by some dodgy bloke while i was taking this photo.

In PS desaturated, and fiddled around with the curves to stretch out the contrast. Burns applied here and there. Sharpened and cropped.

Constructive criticism always appreciated as wanting to slip this one into a competition soon, so feel free to rip this image to pieces.

I know this image is too small, but right now, nothing I can do to change that...Sorry!

Best regards,

Vic,

vic,

I love this photo. Very well composed with good balance and framing. It was a wise choice to desat and increase the contrast. Very artistic and moody. Everything seem to come together for this photo. Well done. I think you should enter this photo into a competition. Thanks!

Hi again Vic;

I like the strong contrast on this one- in conjunction with a good composition- it makes for an overall good shot. I have to agree with some of the others- it would really benefit from a larger size, but that's a small deterent.

Well done,
- Dan
