Balvaird Castle
One of the tower houses by us - Balvaird Castle.
Popped up there this afternoon and despite the sun coming out is was really windy.
Here's the first one I've uploaded - If looks a bit 'odd' it's because I've straightened the perspective so the walls are vertical.
As ever - crit welcomed.

It's a nice image Phil, Shame about the white sky though 
Nice mono conversion, has plenty of 'feel' to the image.
I rekon this is a really good image to make a 'spooky' scene out of, you know, darken it down, give it a blue-midnight-colour and maybe even stick a big moon behind it
Good shot,
Alan.

I like it too, love the crisp sharp corners and the leaning tree just adds to the slight menacing feel of the shot.

Lovely shot Phil, I like the light and the shadows on the castle.
Also like the way the tree is framing the shot.

I really like this and have to disagree with wildwalker the shades of the sky makes change from a good shot to an excellent shot.
Would love to it it full blown colour as well, if poss Phil,
