Great shot! I like the lighting, which is much more interesting than a daytime shot would have been. The castle of course stands out very well against the dark background, and the foreground lighting shows us some of the surroundings too. Great work!

Great capture in the blue hour, dear Stanislav !
I like how you managed the light, excellent colours and sharpness.

Hi Stanislav,
welcome after your vacations. Your photo is nice and elegant, well it is fitted, and you have made a good work with exposure, that allows us to see with clarity and high quality of image this fantastic castle and its environs, with the aid of the light in FG.
The different tones in the artificial light, and the cloudy and dark sky creates a good Scottish atmosphere, only lacks a ghost in the castle.
Fine work.
Best regards,
Josep

Bonjour Stanislav,
Beautiful image with this cloudy sky (a little vagueness in these clouds, they had to pass fast!), this vagueness makes an attractive bottom for this very sharp castle on the contrary.
Magnificent lighting. I do not know the Scotland but I imagine it as it!
Congratulations

Hi Stanislav,
You certainly have a stunning castle theme going!! This one is unique for the bit of reflection in the low tide amoung the rocks and the way the dark BG clouds seem almost to shape a shadow of the castle. The night lighting is great; it turns the castle to gold and shows the details of the arched stone bridge leading to the castle. Fascinating note as well.

Hello Stanislav,
Fine blue hour photo of this well-known castle. I like the surreal sky that you obtained through the long exposure. I'm not sure about the lighting in the foreground. It's a tad overpowering. Taking a few steps forward may have been worthwhile. Regards,
Hakan

Hello Stanislav,

This photograph alone would be worth going to Scotland for. It has a special mystique. I can see Lady MacBeth on one of the parapets. The sky is perfect, the structure is beautifully illumnated against that dark, ominous looking sky. I'm glad to see you back, and I look forward to seeing some other photographs from Scotland.

Would you send me your address again; I have the book to send to you.

Warm regards, dear Stanislav,

Bulent

Hello Stanislav
I think it' was a windy evening when I saw the clouds.
Very good lights exposure management for the castle.
I think also that is was a good idea to use a spot or light car ? for the foreground.
Cheers.

Hello Stanislav,

I like Scotland one of the most beautiful country with the most ghost castles and the lovely panorama views.
This night picture show a little bit this spooky about Scotland, but very good with the enlightenment of this castle. Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,

Beautiful shot at blue hour. The hole of blue sky in the clouds and the light on the bottom right hand corner adds judiciously some light.

Hello Stanislav,
beaucoup de belles photos dans ta galeries et surtout parmis les dernières, pas facile d'en choisir une en particulier pour en faire la critique.
Celle-ci me plait plus que les autres pour la capture que tu as faite de ces lumières nocturnes. Je suis impressionné, le temps de pose de 8 sec. donne un certain flou dans le ciel.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hello Stanislav -

I like your image of this romantic castle. This is a completely different perspective of the castle that what I saw. I like that you captured the image right at the end of the blue hour so that we can see some detail in the low lying clouds. There is a good balance between the dark and light in this image. Well done.

Thank you for sharing.

John

Very good night shot, Stanislav, good exposure and great sharpness for such a long shutter speed, the cloud pattern is blurred presumably because of the fast cloud movement...

Cheers

Bravo !

What a good light! The castle lightening is very well working, and you captured it in the right moment, in the "blue hour". So it looks very dramatic, in a strange atmosphera.
Lovely picture, very well captured

Hello Stanislav! Great photo, and I might even say this a little spooky but this is probably just my fantasy or I have seen to many movies, either way :))) I really like that the sky has still some color before the night takes it away but I also like the artificial light clicked on giving a special mood to the scene, almost not real ... so I am back to my fantasy world I guess. Excellent work. I like it. Barbara.

Stanislav bonjour.
Ce qui frappe dans cette photo c'est l'ambiance de conte de fées donnée par le château et son environnement. Même le léger flou qui entoure la construction participe à l'atmosphère onirique du cliché. Beau travail.

Hello Stanislav.
As a McRae, I just have to comment on this one. It is the first night shot I have seen of the castle on TE. Well chosen viewpoint and good exposure of the castle under this very moody looking sky. Excellent sharpness from your shot with the tripod. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Stanislav,

thank you for your visit to my gallery. I'm always very exited when meeting, to me, a new member of TE. Your dedication to castles is remarkable and your way of presenting them to us is of highest quality. This one immediatelly cought my eye with its excellency of colour work. Light is superbly managed and shows the castle in all its beauty with clearly visible details and structure. Surroundings are marvelous, from the reflection of the castle to dynamic blue sky in its motion. Excellent dedication.

Kind regards,
Jeri

ok, my favorite castle, at night, this deserves at least two points! :-)
terrific nightshot - i did not know that the wonderful building is being lit up at night.
nice use of the 8-second-exposure time, creates a terrific dramatic sky, while the rest is in a kind of spooky atmosphere.
well done & best wishes, thor.
