Your stark, imposing portrait accurately reflects the character of this tower. The lighting helps bring out the interesting texture of the bricks. Great image!

this tower is very sharp in focus but the sky IMHO seem unreal.. 6/10

Simple, yet nice. The sky has blurry grain to it, which is too bad. This would have been good in black and white.

This is a great shot of your subject. I like use of color (or lack thereof). It pops out against that dark sky.

The lighting and rendition of the details is just right, and the dark background really sets the tower off. This is a very mysterious building - what is it?

I like the light that is falling on the subject. Very nice.

Rapunzel's tower? How did you get the background to be B & W and the tower in color? The tower is so sharp and focused, good shooting!
