Anyone for Corfe'e?

[Cobra]

Probably my first time in this section, as I have been trying new "things"
Feedback would be appreciated

It ( Corfe Castle) seems to have quite a mottled history.
5 April 975 King Edward (the Martyr)
was stabbed to death on the orders of his step-mother.
(this was when it was a Saxon hall.)

The castle (it self) construction was started by William the conqueror around 1066
and completed by 1105

1106 the site was a great fortress and state prison.

By 1212 Corfe had become a fortified depot for holding the Kings treasures. King John liked staying in Corfe and hunting in Purbeck.
Construction and renovation took place over many years by various kings,
until finally, in
1643 a troop of republican horsemen entered Corfe to find the Castle barred.
Corfe was held under siege for three years, finally falling on 27 February 1646.

In March 1646 Parliament ordered its total destruction.

First two look a little sharp and rich in colour imo although I like the comps,third one would be my pick
B&W should suit any of these too.....and thanks for the history lesson

A history lesson comes free with every 3 images

Thanks for the feedback its appreciated, and taken on board
Although I would add that the colours are un tweaked in 1 & 2.
And de-saturated slightly in 3, which BTW is also my favourite.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment

Thanks for posting these, i like all of them with No 3 being the best. It makes a change to see this type of shot rather than from the hill with mist or sunrise. I also think they are fine in colour.
