All nice shots and my favourite is the first one - moody in black and white.

No.1 for me, Gareth. They're all good, but mono always, always appeals to me for some reason. Great stuff.

Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

No.1 seems to have caught the attention! It's a super shot.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thank you all. I remember it being covered in scaffolding also! Glad it's gone away now

Each one of these is excellent Gareth. Like several of the other commentators my pick of the bunch is No. 1.

Excellent little set Gareth - the Mono shots are my favourites, with the first one really stealing the show

Great captures and equally good processing

3rd image for me, some beautiful light on the building which makes it the winner for me over the mono images.

A lovely set of the castle Gareth. The first composition is great and, as has been said by the others, the mono version is appealing.

Getting older and grumpier. Taking longer to decide which lens to use today.
