Nice image. I'm trying to think square as well.

Re: Old Tree
Another vote for the square crop. It just needs a Rook or Raven sitting on one of the branches and it could be a shot straight from a horror film!!

Re: Old Tree
Yes, those are my thoughts. Looks like a scene from a Hitchcock film.

Re: Old Tree
Lucky you got the shot and managed to get away before the Count released his hellhounds.
Very nice work.

Re: Old Tree
Thanks for your suggestions. I also like the square version more than the other one.
No I did not need to run for my life. It is open for visitors.
The building in the background is the entry portal to castle Drachenburg.
http://www.schloss-drachenburg.de/index_EN.html
It's seated in the Middle-Rhine region called "Romantic Middle Rhine" between the cities of Mayence (Mainz) and Bonn. If you do a trip to Germany that region is really worth a visit. It is full of old historical towns and castles and famous for its wines.
As Donald suggested here is a version with brighter shadows on the building.
More to come as time and weather permits.
Robert
