Thank you, Randy, for the generous comment, your selection of this image as one of the week's winners, and all your work with the WFS group.

This is nicely composed Nikolyn. I love the play of the small square door against the bottom arch. Then I noticed the small upper window below the upper 'turrets' that echo the arch. Perhaps you did not consciously do it but even subconsciously I bet your artists mind knew to frame it all this way. very effective composition. voted

Yes, it's hard to beat those Old World stone walls for textures - I love photographing in France. Thank you so much for the comment, Phyllis.
