Congats Ian - great to see the tower place so high, you must be very pleased with that and also the finishing average.
Deserved 10 from me - maybe I will bump into you one day up there and enter the same image into the same challenge? Almost acheived that this time around if only I had got myself organised in time to enter!
Well done.
Nordic.
PS - D70 for sale if you are interested? |

| GREAT vibrancy of colours! Like the way it's such a simple series of colour blocks yet more than that too! |

Thanks to everyone for the comments, I was amazed at how well this did.
This tower is called Broadway Tower, and is in the Cotswolds in the UK sitting above a village called Broadway, and about 10 miles north of Stow-on-the-Wold.
It is a favourite place of mine, and judging by the entry in the Bored challenge, its someone else's favourite place as well.
The tower is 4 stories high, so the woman (she who must be obeyed) is well proportion for its height.
With this score I have met all the targets I set myself when I became a member.
If I achieved these I promised myself a camera upgrade, so its time to start thinking about new kit and new targets.
One thing that I am very proud about is that I now have the top score for the Point and Shoot - Canon Digital Ixus V3.
The irony is that in putting this image in the top position, I knocked one of my own out of 12 place (my bridge entry).
Again thanks for all the kind words... .

| This photograph knows the quality of three things: simplicity, color, and subject. Top 10 in my book. Stunning and sharp. |

| I think I have seen this in the Bored challenge? Nice shot - a bit too much noise in the sky to rate higher than a 7 |

| I think I've seen this castle before, but I really like the way the person seems to be staring up at it. |

| I think you'll win, out of what i've seen so far. Minor gripes about verticality of tower, placing of figure, and 'storm' in your title - it looks like a pleasant summer's evening, colour-wise. The figure is a masterful necessity to a sense of scale in the image. Where is this? What is this? It looks like it should be a Landmark Trust property (qv if you don't know them) - but not one that is familiar. More than anything, I think you'll win because it's just nearly impossible to vote this down for anything. |

I so almost entered a similar image, visited Broadway on last Saturday afternoon but didn't manage to enter the image in time (oh well - must leave this work thing alone, gets in the way a bit!). When was this taken? The tower is so photogenic, I just love the location, one of my fav places!
Not sure about the PP, looks a bit sureal? Hope it does well for you.

| I like the colors. And I like the mix of the human scale and the huge landscape, containing both. It strikes me how much the towers resemble a space shuttle sitting on the launch pad. Or, I guess the space shuttle resembles the towers. |

returning for comments:
This is as neat as a doll house. A beautiful capture and such strong composition. This image may get the biggest request in a stock album. |

| Neat shot! The person almost seems too big for the castle though. Is she a giant? Very nice....8 |
