John, thank you for your kind words.
Another very sharp photograph but a little grainy which will of course be out of your control. What type/make of film is there available where you live?
I have just looked on Google maps and the castle is some kilometres south east of Moscow is that the correct place? The pictures accompanying the map results show it to be a very big structure indeed.

Glenn, thank you for your critical insight; it's very valuable to me.
I think your idea about framing is very relevant and sound. I hadn't thought about it at the time.
Thanks again for the valuable advice!
I deliberately wanted to make the image a little grainy. I think it adds to the mood of the photograph.
I shot this image on a roll of Fomapan 100 and developed it with D-76 1:1
As for the location, it's the city of Zaraysk Зарайск. It's located southeast of Moscow. It has a very beautiful old fortress and a very cozy old city center.
I think you are being very polite. If Glenn cropped one of my photographs unasked, and posted it online, I wouldn't be very happy. In any case, I much prefer your original version to Glenn's cropped one.
Alan, thanks.
I think I should have taken this shot with another cropping option.
But it is what it is.
No I don't think you are out on a limb Glenn. Nobody else seems to object. Don't take any notice of me.
Gentlemen, all is well.
I sincerely appreciate all your ideas and comments.
Glenn, I'd be interested to see your take on cropping the image.

Another still life.
Shot at home on a wide windowsill using natural light.
First, I measured the brightness in the shadows and highlights of this scene, determined the average exposure value, and photographed it on sheet X-ray film.
Working with an old camera is very leisurely, requiring thoughtfulness and constant attention.
It's a bit like preparing a steam locomotive for work.
It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I do!

I also really like that image but don’t fancy developing my own shots anymore. I think I’m just lazy
Thank you for your attention to my image.
Currently, I use both digital and conventional photography equally.
Of course, conventional photography requires more time, but there's a certain pleasure in it, at least for me.
John, thanks for your words of encouragement.
