This is Fort Henry.

A Brief History: The original Fort Henry was built during the War of 1812 by the British and bears no resemblance to the existing fort. Between 1832 and 1837, a second fort was built on the site of the first, and it is this fort that stands here today. It was considered even more necessary to fortify this point after the War of 1812, due to the completion of the Rideau Canal (built from 1826-32), placing Point Henry at the intersection of three important waterways: the Rideau Canal, the St. Lawrence River, and Lake Ontario.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

I didn't vote your photo but it got a score I think is about right. It more or less met the challenge, but didn't use selective desat to draw attention to something that would not have recieved it otherwise. It didn't use the technique to show me something new, or develope a new perspective on an old genre. If it had, it would have scored higher.

In my thinking, there is a bit of a disconnect between the title and the photo. But I may be simply notting getting what you were after.

I really like this shot, the subject is cool and you chose the right things to saturate. However IMO, the posts and things on the left are a little bright. Would have tried to bring them down a bit with lightness. Great shot non the less.
