Helmsley Castle

Cliche? Over processed? What do you think?

Be as harsh as you like, it can only help me improve.

I'm no expert but i think i would prefer the archway framing the castle to be alot darker, Maybe you've overdone shadows? Vibrancy maybe needs a little boost too. Nice shot they btw

Think it comes down to your own preference, Toggs mostly strive to produce whats seen with the eye.

Thanks Gordon

Here is an alternative edit:

or maybe I should just have left the whole thing alone. This is a different shot but with no PP except for cropping:

Nicely composed but a bit of post processing such as contrast or grad filter on the sky to bring in some dark moodiness. Good work though.
