Reference to the original photograph gives some idea of the challenge I faced when I decided to expand it and introduce a stronger light source. I just didn't go quite far enough. Glad you like the composition.

By the way that isn't the monastery, it's the castle. The monastery is a set of ruins. I'll maybe put that up for a challenge in the future. You'll enjoy that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350381570737387904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468843067640834925.post-54329314909035996952013-04-05T03:06:08.345-07:002013-04-05T03:06:08.345-07:00Ray - Thanks.
