Thanks for all your votes and comments, very pleased with the finished gothic effect I got. To get a comment from Heida - it's as good as a ribbon for me.
I like the subject, but it seems to lack a bit of impact in this treatment ... I know you were going for an ancient feel to the image, but I think your point would have been better made if you'd let the ruined building appear against the greater contrast of naturally coloured surroundings (grass, sky, etc). 5.
