Guess you were the one at Dunstanburgh when i was at Bamburgh, Good job my pictures of Dunstanburgh didn't turn out due to the grey skies as the angle of your picture is much better.
Strongest point - Clear as a bell. What can be improved - Subect of castle not represented well in the picture. Perhaps closer, or maybe even cut out the surf and put that in a different picture.
to me this is more about the beach then it is a castle or something old. I almost wouldn't of known it were a castle if it weren't for the title! but the photo is lovely itself.. 7 (higher if the relevant subject were more prominent)
I like this photo but I think it falls a little short. Your subject is too far away to be a main focal point. I am drawn to the contrast between the beach and the water and the ruin just blends into a distant horizon.
Oh with that location there's so much more you could have done with this image. It begs for a low sun to get the reflections of the wet sand, and if you went closer you could have all those wet boulders as a superb foreground. You had a fantastic opportunity here, but sadly failed to take best advantage of it. Shame.
