hi john.
this is a powerful image. it also conveys a touch of sadness.
it looks to me as though the tree is also a 'ruin' as there does not appear to be any leaves. the greenery is ivy which has taken over this dead tree and given it the appearance of being alive.
the pov and the shadows are excellent.
tfs.

excellent capture john,

shadows and textures make this a stand-out for me...

the inner part of the castle/keep are on show, making it hard to believe how the people of the time constructed such a chunky defensive building...no cranes, scaffold machines etc..amazing huh...

great pov showing both ancient structure and ancient tree....great colours and a real depth to the photo...

cheers..harry.

Hello John, you have captured a lovely light which brings out the colours of the stones.And yes the shadows are very pleasing too.
I like the composition where we can see only a part of the tower.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi John

Love the shadows and the highlights on the castle walls.
Great textures and colours in the bricks, and the
tree adds a sense of how big it really is.

Cheers

Hi John,

Nice shot, great lighting, very nice details and textures, I like how you captured it against the bright blue sky, very nice contrast there. :D and the ligthing that produce the shadows of the trees.

I have visit some ruin like this while we were in England, it make me wonder who is those people who live in there, what they do and how they live, do they talk and act like us? why do they have war to distroy the tower, who is the architect? how they build it... lol... yeah, I am going nuts with it, just so many questions... but too little answer at time! You captured it really well, nice work,


Have a great weekend,

Cheers,
Sweety

Hi John, how do you manage to find such fascinating places to photograph?
This is a lovely image showing the terrific textures of the weathered and aged stone, very sharp and surprisingly straight for a wide shot.

Thanks also for the information, your knowledge of these places is to be commended.
