This is Tynedale Monument which stands high on the hill over North Nibley in Gloucestershire.
I have now realised that I am so unfit. By the time I had walked to the top of the hill to take this shot; I needed 10 minutes before I could hold the camera steady.
Before anyone asks, this is not meant to be a copy of Castle Hill from the first Masters Challenge; however I do accept that it does use some of the same compositional elements.
The weather in the UK has been cloudy and overcast all week, which has not helped.
This picture was taken early afternoon, yet only a few minutes before, the auto flash was being set off with some of my shots.
Anyhow, for this I slightly distorted the image to get the tower off a slight tilt, used various layers with curves, contrast adjustments and a little cloning to remove some white spots and of course, USM. |

| Very pretty, but looks a little overprocessed to me. The structure looks oversharpened. Still I think it is lovely 7. |

| Nice colors and lighting. Something about the tower seems to over sharpened in my opinion. Good composition and mood. Good Shot! |

First the positive: great sky and color saturation. I lke the framing and composition very much.
The negative: I think you may have been over zealous with your noise reduction as there is somewhat of a posterized loss of fine detail. |

| Kind of cool. The composition is good and everything looks pretty decent but I'm not sure what is up with the speckles. Almost like you boosted the saturation which had an effect on the tower. |

| Very good shot, I think the burn tool would benefit the sky in this photo. Great potential in this. |
