    Oh very nice Taffy!

    My only critique would be it appears to have a bluish cast where a more yellowish look should be.

    It is a beautiful shot and I know you wanted to show the entire length of both walls which you did nicely without having to place the tower in the center of the image, but I would trade one or part of one of the walls for just a bit more breathing room over the top of the tower.

    I guess what I’m trying to say is, you’ve got a real nice image here, but I’m left to wonder what it might have looked like had it been composed and shot in the vertical.

    I agree ... and disagree.
    I think this depends on what the photographer was trying to feature.
    In the landscape version we see that they have featured the structure as a whole and I think that works very well.
    IF they were to feature the tower however, I would probably look more closely at a portrait shot. Just my opinion though.

    I really like this image. I might boost the contrast slightly in the building, but that's it.
