Tutbury Castle viewed from St Mary's Churchyard. Tutbury Castle is

a largely ruined medieval castle at Tutbury, Staffordshire, England.

Apart from the 12th century chapel the ruins date from the 14th and

15th centuries when the castle was rebuilt. All comments very

welcome, thank you.

Hi Ken, This is well composed, interesting image. I like the chosen POV and the foreground graveyard lets my eye wander up to the castle remains. I like the b&w version but can't help wondering what the color version looked like. Fine work.

Best, Holger

Hi Holger. Thanks for the kind comment. Yes I was undecided which version to post. I've attached the colour version with very little PP, which may be of interest to you. Best regards Ken.

Ken I see your dilemma the color version is beautiful also. The light hitting the front highlighting the different color bricks, the hint of color in the flowers and the shadows on the green are all really nice. You can go either way with this one.

Best, Holger

Ken,

This is a beautiful haunted scene. I like the darkness of the stones with the lightness of the building. I wonder what it would look like if you cropped out the modern light post on the left and just left the ancient aspect of this photo. I like this photo a lot. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Peter. Thanks for your comment and interest. Attached is a version without the street lamp, but to me it loses some of it's composition and balance, see if you agree. Best regards Ken.
