I love that the castle looks as though it's floating there with the fog/cloud in the background. Although I think I might prefer to crop out the brown grass in the foreground.

Hi Bryan

Nice POV and composition.
Slightly over exposed.
I have added a workshop for you, hope you don't mind.

Regards Derek

Hi Bryan
Well composed shot although I would agree that it might be a little overexposed. You've captured it well, it certainly looks like a very imposing building
Regards Pez

HI Bryan
Its a good composition even with the distracting grass. It does need sharpening something you should get into the habit of doing whenever you resize or alter a photo.By doing so it would also help brighten it up a bit.
Dot

what a beautiful place
