Photographer’s Note
The Castle of Montsegur was one of the last strongholds of the Cathars. It's situated over the town with the same name. When the cathars surrended to the troops sent by rome to stop their heretic movement, more than 200 cathars who stayed there were burned.
I've added saturation to the picture, and sharpened it after reducing the size to keep the definition of the stones on the castle.
I have also hidden many plastics and other trash that somebody left over the bushes at the bottom-right part of the picture. I think that the it's a bit difficult to see that some bushes are digitally moved.

That's a really wonderful picture, the perspective and the sense of the depth is just great. The castle ruins looked very majestic on the top of the mountain. Great shot.
