Hallo Stephen!
Here I like the buildup and - of course - the shown scenery!
Gorgeous, really gorgeous! The atmosphere is a bit mystic - a good addition!
Greetings from Germany!

Stephen,
The buildup of this shot is great. The long exposure creates a nice effect on the small stream in the foreground. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Stephen, a ver yfull image - lots of detaill and interest. I love the jagged outline of Dunluce Castle. I also like the many shades of grass and the hint of blue in the stream
Excellent overall

Hi Stephen,
The very spectacular sky creates a special atmosphere in this image. It could be the perfect decor of a horror movie.
Very nicely captured from an excellent point of view. The use of a wide angle lens was a great idea.
Friendly regards,
Eddie

It looks like the background for some medieval movie. Like the ones which are painted by hand.
Very eye catching and beautiful

Hi Stephen,
great POV and great composition. The colors and the light get something mystical to the photo. I like the ditch in front, it look like some waft of mist.

Wow, fantastic shot! The composition is wonderful, with the castle ruin being of course the star of the show, but the small stream in the foreground adds a lot of interest there and balances the photo very nicely. Excellent piece of work!

Hi Stephen,
Very interesting perspective of the castle ruins on the high plateau. But I am puzzled by the ?water? stream in the foreground - can't quite figure what you did here? Well seen and TFS. Gerald
