Photographer's Note
hello.Situated on an island in the middle of the River Dee, this formidable castle is only reachable by boat.
Now under the care of Historic Scotland, this massive tower house was built in the late 14th century by Archibald the Grim, Lord of Galloway. It became the stronghold of the Black Douglases and still today, round its base you can see the artillery fortification, an innovative defence years ahead of its time, built before 1455 when James II besieged the castle.

Hello Dale,
good the placement of the castle in the frame with the foreground wetland to makes the image even more effective.
Regards,Danos

I thought the overall softness of the picture enhanced it. Though it is low contrast, there's a lot of good blacks and white in the picture.
