Superb lighting and really like how you captured the tree in the foreground. Wonderful shot!

Excellent use of the lines in the composition, good choice for B&W too in my opinion. At first I wasn't sure about the crop including the tree on the right but the more I look at it I find it pleasing, complementing the rest in age and stripped barrenness.

I would think one of the challenges of dark-hued photos is how to capture light...your castle (or church, I don't know the region) provides it in a flush-forward presence, lit from some far source and acting like a beacon in a foreboding landscape. (It's like the world before a storm.) The light is bold and lonely. And I understand the comment about the tree, but it actually gives the picture its foreground and gives us a strange & sinewy 'anchor' from which to view the whole. It's always nice to see a photographer do several shots with the same lighting (as you did), exploring the nuances of a way of seeing. Would be striking huge...
