    I don't mean to be rude. But this image is a very dark charcoal grey with a hint of trees silhouetted and a tower of some sort. I am not clear what the artistic intention is.

    I like the composition very much. It does seem too dark though.

    I actually think it's one of those images that breaks the rules tonewise/processing wise and it works for me overall. The monastery slopes a bit to the left, that's what caught my eye initially. Hope that may help.

    I think it is interesting and a well done dark photo. I think it would look even better printed.
