Wow. There is so much that can be said about this photograph. At first, the dark colours the high contrast gives you a cold and forlorn feeling. It's a very lonely picture. There's no one around and it is dark. The scene is very gothic. The angle of the picture suggests maybe a bit of chaos. The deep colour of the clouds gives the feeling that something bad is about to happen. It is just a dark piece altogether.

And then you have to appreciate the beauty of it. The ancient cobblestone walls are still standing in full detail. The black-and-white really accents the ancient stonework. The picture is crystal clear and wonderful. The vegetation implies that the place is forsaken, yet they give it a more homey and welcoming feel, like a lonely child.

Overall, I'd rate this piece as "wicked lovely". I applaud you.
What do you think?

I am in love with this picture. You picked a very good angle, and framed it up very nicely.

The choice of black and white really makes the details pop out at you. This is one of those picture that really creates a mood and a feel. Something lonely, desolate, and somehow makes me feel ..peaceful and relaxed just enjoying your image.

also i am glad you decided to take the shot with the wonderful sky in the background I think that actually made the shot something more than just another pick of an old ruin. It helps to set the mood for me :

But then again I'm a huge fan of lonely, desolate and Beautiful places.
