Do you by any chance work for the Northumberland Tourist Board?

No, but all my family come from there unfortunately by a cruel twist of fate I was born in Northumberland but in Watford 

Here's a shot of Dunstanborough Castle.

wow such a beauty!

Dunstanburgh also makes for a great walk.

It certainly does, Craster up to Seahouses or Bamborough (or the other way round) is one of my favourite walks.  Here's Dunstanburgh from the Crater side.

I see some really weird 'shapes' in the silhouette shot !
There's a dobey dog, with a really long neck....Sam, the eagle....And 3 kings with crowns having a chin-wag.

(I need some of Nobby's pills !)

Cheers - Mr C Ingthings.

If you want a truly spectacular fortress try Ehrenbreitstein, just across the Rhine from Coblenz. It only has fortifications on one side - the other is a sheer drop of a hundred feet or so.

So I go to interesting, out of the way places, photograph them as well as I'm able, open a photobucket account, upload the photos, start a new thread, link the pictures to the Pendraken Forum hoping to provide some measure of interest and the response is....

But .... but .... at this time of year .... what about the sanity clause?

[DanJ]

I think the "mental 'Elf" of this forum just dropped another notch

Someone sack him!

Phil - get their COATS NOW....

It is a good photograph of the castle and the silhouette works well. The breaking wave provides good foreground interest and adds to the mood

I would probably crop tighter on the right so the viewers eye doesn't flow down hill and out of the image.

You could also consider cropping on the left to remove fence line on the ridge line, currently it is an intrusion and once seen can be distracting

Perhaps increasing the contrast would emphasise the silhouette

Is that more the response you were hoping for?

The earlier fortification photos were also interesting 

[Leman]

However, cropping the fence line will lose some of the impressive wave action.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I think it works brilliantly just as it is.
