The Castle
This is Corfe Castle, which lies between Wareham and Swanage, in Dorset.
The castle can be seen from far away, as it dominates the Purbeck Hills.
I decided to put on the B&W tinted version as the main picture, and below, you will see the colour version.
Both have been edited in CS3, just to make them a little different from the usual pics you see.
I hope you like it.
Thank you for looking.
The Castle belongs to the following groups:

i guess it really depends on what mood the viewer is in as to which hue is preferable. i like both versions for different reasons. the moody blue works for me.
Richard Veal replied
Many thanks JK, and for the fave also.
In situations like this, I like to put both versions on, instead of uploading the same pic twice, so that they can be seen together.
kalaryder
Both version are great, but I think I like the tinted one the best, great atmosphere
Richard Veal replied

looks very unusual :)
Richard Veal replied

Thank you.
Wayne Holman
Excellent comp and perspective Richard, love the treatment and tones, I must say though that out of the two I prefer the colour one mate = )
Richard Veal replied
It has an aged Agfa look to it I think.
Many thanks Wayne.
Paul Woloschuk
Great work Richard!
I can’t make up my mind which version I prefer – I love the ‘glow’ of the colour version, but the toned mono has a moonlit quality….oh I dunno…they both get my vote! ;-)
Richard Veal replied
Thank you Paul.
I didnt want to put up the same pic twice, so it was easier to do it like this, so people can see both versions at the same time.
Steve Sharp
A very atmospheric place, given a great treatment – nice one Richard.
Richard Veal replied
Glad you like it Steve.
