Brilliant photo very atmospheric and moody. This would make a lovely gothic poster. When i look at this photo i expect dracula to pop up from behind the gravestones. Well done.

Why is it so hard to add some of these to toursites? I have tried several times, on two different days, without luck. I really like this one--haunting, Gothic, beautiful.

Just joined the POE site and very glad I have....an awful lot of excellent photos. there is a phenominal amount of talent out there..... Love this pic. What would look like with a bit of photoshop??? A ghostly apparition at the top of the path or or Dracula-esque silhouette on the top of the abbey!!!! Go back to it and have a go...you never know. . .

Very interesting lighting in the foreground relative to the blackened sky. Special lighting used? Great either way.

This looks more like a painting than a photo. Maybe it's a picture of a photo?

Comment by Neil Willan(21st May 2013)

No it's a photo taken 3 times over at different exposures and then merged into a HDR photo via photomatix. Thanks for the comment though.
