I think this one would look better if the border is on the sides :)
Nice shot and B&W.

agree about the framing, should make it cover all sides and once done make it about half the thickness :) +8

Excellent composition - great tones and textures.
Perfect B/w exposure.
Agree that the frame fights the composition though - it's trying to 'stunt' the proportions. I'd maybe suggest cropping about a third the sky out too - increase the focus on the steep climb up to the gatehouse.
Nice work.

great composition, it puts the viewer in a place where they feel they are there, and just need to keep on walking straigh ahead.

Beautiful capture! Nice use of a high f-stop! Your image is super clear! I'm not a huge fan of the over-exposed sky though. Great perspective! Keep up the good stuff! :)

Great perspective and as Carlos stated the higher contrast works supremely for this composition, well done, Chris!

Great leading line from the road!
The sky is a bit lame but it works okey in bw.

A fantastic place indeed for plenty of shots!
