Great shot of the castle, but ruined by the foreground
Have you part converted it to B&W? ..... I would imagine it
would look fine in colour.

I might get a B&W Browser for this forum
Half Man... Half Pentax ... Half Cucumber

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff

I think it is a great shot. Foreground and all. It looks just how I remember it back in the 60's in my long lost youth. Oh Happy Days.
CHEERS Vic.

I like it Stan - lovely light. You were just up the road from me on Sunday then.

Maybe a bit off the bottom would make it even better. Lots of rocks with not great light on them. Wouldn't remove them altogether though

Thanks for the helpful suggestions.
We were at Holy Island first, then up to Bamburgh.

Wow! Fantastic photo! That cloud (sundog?) at the corner is superb!

Have you tried cropping it to a wider ratio? Just might work!

I like it as it is though.

I quite like the foreground too, and unless the rocks have become radioactive since my last visit they're about the right colour.

Speaking of my last visit (about 3 years ago), I note from your picture that some vandal has demolished my sandcastle

Nice castle. Looks as bold as Minas Tirith.

I think it would work better if you cropped the foreground rocks out Stan.
Also there seems to be a halo all along the length of the image where the sky meets the land.

I shouldn't worry about it: I'm totally dyslexic when typing and have to proof-read everything. Transposing the letters of even short, commom words is my speciality.

What great detail and sharpness Stan. I bet this would make a brilliant large print. The streak of cloud in the sky is very helpful to the composition.

I'd love to go to Northumberland but it's a VERY long way north for us...
Best wishes,

Andrew
