I actually like the high contrast in the shot, however it blew out the sky, maybe trying underexposing and then brightening the stones later in post processing. I think the reason it didn't do all that well in voting is that some people are opposed to high contrast shots such as this, I personally like them every once in a while and think it works well here.
Can I ask (out of curiosity) why you used such a high ISO? I also have a Canon 400D and on the couple of occasions that I have been forced to ISO 1600 (indoor sports / really gloomy wedding etc) the noise has rendered the shots really hard to PP. Outside I would not have thought that it was necessary?
Cheers!
A bit of a cock up really, I'd been shooting indoors the night before and didn't reset the ISO, probably because it was so windy up there and was beginning to rain so I was in a bit of a rush. Luckilly it didn't cause too much in the way of noise.
It is quite heavily USM'd, I know that it's not an effect that is to everyones taste but I quite like the the definition that it brings to the brickwork.
