I like how you used the "S effect" here to lead to the center object. My eyes were leading to it when I saw it. I also enjoy the center object because it looked so bold and "masculine".

My favourite castle. I have indeed uploaded a painting that I have doen of Eilean Donan Castle.

Have a look at Individual Gallery : M Maitaivalleyrailway

I like how you set up the pathway leading up to the castle giving the view a sence that he or she is traveling to the castle yet being an older looking structure combound with the pure fact that it is black and white vs color, it gives the view a sence of forboding and mystery to the scene. Whether or not that is what you were going for when you took and worked with the picture, i don't know, but this is the idea which i got out of it.
