thanx, the hot spot isnt quite a hot spot, there is detail in it ( at least in the hi res version) its just where the sun was hitting the wall, i did think about reducing it but i liked the way it immediatly pulled the eye into the building.
thanx for your thoughts both.

I like it, it has a good atmosphere. Hoping to be able to do something similar when I get hold of Elements. Any tips on how did you it?

i took 3 exposures and put them thru photomatix for an HDR, but I wasnt happy with it...... so i saved it then opened it in Photoshop ( CS3 ) duplicated the layer, converted the bottom layer to mono , ( using black and white) then reduced the opacity of the coloured top layer. took the gravestones right back to mono.
flattened sharpened.

I'm voting for the "not quite a hot spot" because I agree that it immediately pulls the viewer into the photo.
Over all, I really like this. Has a bit of elvish look to it ala LOTR.

I feel you have worked hard at this and deserve full marks, you have created great atmosphere to the image, its this kind of look i have tried to get myself.
If there was one tiny niggle, i would like to have seen a little more top of the tree, but thats just me...
Nice one.

Very nice image, but I feel that the verticals need straightening a little. Maybe skew the photo from the LH corner top.
