this has a lot of atmosphere, and an eerie quality to the image..well done.

Gorgeous capture of this subject.

Such a dreamy, mystical feel. I can almost hear the clatter of horse hoofs and rattle of armour about to appear into the shot. The illusion would be stronger without the flagpole (or at least the flag, if you felt the whole thing might be too major an element?). Very nice shot :)

I already voted a while ago, now I'm back for commenting. I gave this picture a 9. I think it conveys the meaning well. It's also very spooky!

Love that old photo feel -works well with the subject

I love this. Glad that I went through these a second time, deserved better than 8. Only suggestion...clone out the light on top of the building on the right. 9

Very nice. Subject matter has high interest and it qualifies as desolate. It looks a bit overly smooth in the shadow area to me.

great dreamy look,

Oh that is beautiful! And very desolate indeed. Nice work for not sacrificing beauty while depicting desolation.

The soft focus of this lends itself to moment. The shadows to the left are a bit dark for me. Great job, really looks desolate to me! 8

a little dark on the left side. Nice ruins, though, and definately desolate.
