Nice castle and nice view of the castle. The dark sky helps create a somber and mysterious atmosphere. I like the angle you chose.

J'aime beaucoup cette image fantastique.
Le cadrage est bon mais ce sont surtout la lumière et les couleurs qui en font la qualité.

Hi Steven,
A very good follow-up to the previously posted one.
If the aim was to create a special dramatic atmosphere, I would say you've succeded in achieving it through your PP-ing.
The sky is of a great deep grey colour where some areas behind trees are omitted, but the rest is just fine.
You were lucky to have this great light on the castle!
Very interesting work!

Bonjour Steven,
Supebe chateau et une ambiance orageuse excellente qui lui donne une dimension chateau hante magnifique, manque plus que le conte Dracula. Si je pouvais je te mettrais deux sourires ici, j'adore !
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

Bonjour Steven,
Cette lumière et ce ciel gris orageux donne une atmosphère menaçante à ce cliché. La pierre prend des couleurs qui ne semblent pas naturelle..
On peut dire que c'est saisissant de beauté!
Bravo, c'est bien vu!

Hi Steven, very somber, very impressive! Really a great shot!

I like the dark sky, and it's a spectacular castle, but two things bother me: the first is the large halo around the dark edges - I like your lightening of the stonework, but this edge seems too unnatural to me. The second is the tilted perspective - it's not tilted enough to be an significant element of the picture, so I think it would be better straight - taken from further away.

Bonsoir Steven.
J'adore le Périgord,une magnifique région pleine de charme.
Je vois qu'elle recelle encore plusieurs trésors à découvrir.
Les nuages donnent une ambiance extra.
Belle prise de vue en montant,ce qui rend le chateau encore plus imposant.

Hi Steve,

I´ve run through your gallery and I´m impressed...this looks like an amazing place, the after-storm weather gives it such a dark mysterious atmosphere...well done!
