It nice to see the the quarry ruins in a different light this time in contrast to the dark, green hill behind. Perceptive compo and truthfully rendered colours, Andrew.

Lovely shot Andrew, it appears that the building is about to fall from the hillside.

I agree!
Even with the landscape divided by "leaders"(using Nuri's words), Andrew was capable of maintaining the sharpness across the foreground.
How many times I come across to sceneries like this and forget to choose an suitable aperture ?!?
It reveals technique, Andrew!

Lovely composition, nice colours. It looks even better in enlarged view.

Thanks everyone for your kind and considered comments. I'm not sure about the sloping building, it's obviously in a right state, but Paul may well be right, although the foreground looks horizontal, the building may look better more vertical.
Best wishes,
Andrew
