Default Creepy Castle

This is my second post in this section. I am wondering if the castle looks too dark and again if the yellow tint or black and white would be better. The bus in the original pictures has been removed to add a archaic affect. Comments welcome!

I really like what u did.the details and the colour of the building give the sensation of antique, mistery, a castel in ancient time. I like that u remove the bus and the cars from gate bacground. I also like the sky effect. A verry good job. Congratulation.

I think you did great. I'd kinda like to see the sky less green thou, but I love what you did to the castle.

I also like what you did with it but I would like to see the same thing done in blue instead of green. I think that would be an improvement. It would also make the sky more believable.

wow! totally love what you did with it ! great job on cropping out the traffic (clone tool I suppose?). I adore the overall mood of it, and i hadnt really noticed that the sky was greenish until i read one of the comments; It doesnt bring it down, however, it suddenly did throw me off just a tad once i noticed. However, as i said, it does not in any way, bring down the overall masterpiece that it is .

splendid job!

Really like this edit, the building gets wonderful character in it. The colours don't detract too much for me, but I'd maybe lose the dark cloud right at the top. Frame it with something a bit brighter to give the castle itself more dominance.
