Culzean Castle, Ayrshire, Scotland.
Originally shot in colour, the cloud patterns and textural detail has proved itself even more memorable as a monochrome study. Even the tiles in the base of the fountain seem to echo the patterns in the sky.
I want to apologise for not commenting on many folks work here. To be honest bird photography is something I very rarely do and I therefore feel out of my depth. Other than say I really like some of the photographs on site I really don't have much to contribute when it comes to advice.

It's a really nice shot. But, lovely tho' it is, I'm struggling to find the Nature in the shot....and we're a Nature Photography forum .
Don't worry about Birds or commenting on those...you have some stunning natural landscapes and I'm sure folks would be more than happy to see and comment on them and to hear your comments on their landscape shots too .
I think the point of this site eluded me a little. I have read your forum headed comments and I will ensure that any new landscape shots have a much greater nature bias - apologies

Superb landscape image! I agree the conversion to monochrome is awesome!
It's converted very well - in places it almost looks like mono shot through a yellow filter - very very nice indeed
