The textures and shapes are lovely, and shadows are also excellent - it's made for B&W!
One small negative is that the cropped chimney irks just a little

re. the chimney: yes I deserve a slap for cropping that out
Thanks for the positive comments.
p.s. did you spot the sun-dial on the wall?

Nice image Matt! I might be tempted to try and correct the perspective distortion a little and see how that works (it might help, it might not ). Lovely textures and sky!

Thanks Tim. I have actually already corrected the barrel distortion a fair bit. I stopped where I did so as not to lose any more off the top. I'll re-visit via PS tonight, see how it looks

I took this at from the roof of the castle on St. Michael's Mount last week whilst in holiday.
There's something about this image that I love, but there isn't really a strong focal point in it. I wondered what you guys thought?
