Bruges (Brugge) Belgium was established in the first century BC by the Romans, and subsequently taken over by the Franks and then by the Vikings.  The modern city that we know now was started in 1128 AD.  Today it is the capital of the province of West Flanders.  So much for the history lesson.

The photograph presented here has a feeling of other worldliness right out of the imagination of Bram Stoker.  The use of inferred manipulation and the subtle brown tinting gives this ancient building and tower a hunted feeling.  The composition is nice with the tree and tower acting as counter balancing centers of interest.  They are both required to tell the story.

I would suggest cropping out the shadow of the tree at the base of the photograph.  Is does not appear to serve any purpose and for some reason wants to draw my attention away for the subject.  If this were a more amorphous shadow I think it would work but it is obvious that it is the shadow of a tree. The building itself does not look menacing enough to tell us that this is a true horror picture we are seeing.
