This is deliciously eerie, with the roiling dark sky and remnants of walls; somehow even the trees looming on the right appear menacing, and the innocent-looking staircase takes on the role of bait in a trap. I think the sepia toning suits the image beautifully--everything works together to establish the mood. I wonder if it might be useful to lighten the top of the tower and walls where they seem to have gone dark--the darkness there now does a good job of keeping the keep separate from the sky, but I don't think it needs to be quite as dark as it is. It would have been nice if some of the dark parts of the sky had run into the trees and left side of the tower to make sure they didn't appear haloed, but I think it's fine as is. I like this image a lot!
