Nice shot Matt! Good foreground and striking silhouette. A few more clouds might have been nice, but good job with what you had. St Michael's Mount I presume? I've never actually been there, despite being on several holidays in that area!
Edit: I should read thread titles more often

Very nice work there Matt.
Nice composition, foreground detail and I like the left to right graduation in the sky. It all works well for me especially with the monochrome treatment
I have some shots of the St Michael's Mount/Penzance area some of which I'm quite pleased, sadly they are from a couple of years ago with my previous Oly system so I'd hesitate to post any on Pentax User

Wow. Thanks for the kind words, guys. I didn't expect that reaction. I actually felt the composition was compromised when shooting due to the position of the sun which meant I had to position the castle quite far left.
What I like about the Pentax (Samsung) system is that high-lights are usually kept well under control meaning that a lot of shots can be rescued from the RAW file.
