I have another shot of these same gargoyles from a slightly different angle that has some really interesting sunlight going on, but I decided to post this one because it’s one of the few times so far that I’ve made use of the “vignette” option in Lightroom. That’s what created the darkening around the edges, which is another way of making a photo look old. I particularly like the way it echoes the shape of the corner here.
