This is the Bell Tower above the main gate to the Castle in Cape Town, South Africa. The castle was originally built in the 1600's by the Dutch employer Jan van Riebeeck who arrived at the Cape in 1652. This castle was built near the shoreline and is today quite a way from the sea due to the land being reclaimed and houses many buildings and freeways. A wonderful place to visit.

Brickwork is wonderful but sky is lacking. From one shot probably not much you can do with it. buildings worth top marks anyway

9. I think that a shot most closed improved the focus of the parapet on the right. (Imho)

Excellent Processing....you do great work for only a Single Image Exposure. Get a Tripod ( shoot Five to Nine Exposures) an make even more MAGIC.

Blur right something distracts attention being. Very good process.
