I dub thee the "castle man". You have taken all sorts of them and they are really fascinating. Never realized that there were so many of them.....I really like the ones on water's edge or on the precipice of a bluff......

Turrets reflected in a fountain. Now what could be better than that? The photo of the deer caught my eye and I was glad I could look at it in the original size ( ) because, in the larger size, the intense protectiveness of the Buck became wonderfully evident. That alertness is a lovely contrast the contented repose of the Does/fawn. And just for compositional balance, I love the way the coloring of the two Does harmonizes with the leaves in the trees. You had a nice Sunday, huh?

Outstanding set Bill. From the castle to the duck, I like them all. Especially the deer. Nice going!

Amazing castle and grounds, quite extraordinary. this one seems to be a lot larger than some of the others you've shown. Love that last picture of the water rolling off the duck's head.
