Hello Petoria, welcome to DPS, what a great first post.
Sometimes the pictures fly through and it seems they hardly get chance to be viewed at all. Your picture has a very special feel about it, well done, I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your work

I generally hate HDR as they are so over done, but this one is really good - thanks for sharing.

Beautiful shot. I've never had a desire to go there, but after seeing this photo I"d
like to go if only for the photographic oppertunities.

Nice HDr work. shadows and contrast are good but the colors in the trees are a little off. Photomatix doe's this sometimes when you saturate it from within that program but can be corrected locally when you adjust it in Photoshop

I know nothing about HDR, but I think the sky really adds to this particular photo. Nice shot

That's a really nice, and well thought out shot. My eyes are drawn down the moat and up to the pinnacle of the castle, where a gorgeous sky awaits. I love the soft coloring too. Great job, and thanks for sharing.
