damn I find my self saying this alot lately, I must be obsessed! pano crop it i say, The cliff/mountains on the right create a very nice lead into the image and the subject, the castle! A pano would increase this imo.

I could not resist but have a crack myself, I figure I ain't ever gonna get over to see it myself :rotfl2:

Let me know if you want it removed!

The pano does look better.
Thanks for the example! :D

Better put something in my signature about image editing approval.

Well, it looks like you had a wonderful time Wink. Just out of curiosity, what was your itinerary? How long were you away for?

fyi, i forgot, the edits I did were basically crop, tonal contrast, global contrast and d-lighting.

I reckon this is one image you should definitely revisit. with a small amount of work it could well be a stunner.

The cropped castle is brilliant!

What a place to live. I suppose you could see the sunrise AND sunset from home... :roll:

Ludwig certainly had a nice block. It's a shame he didn't get to enjoy it longer. His parents castle is down the hill from this one.

There's snow on the hill behind me from where i took the photo.

We had a lot of fun. Wouldn't change a thing about the trip.
The only negative experience i had was 3 people trying to pick my pocket in Barcelona. That's where the R-Strap came in handy. I just let my camera down by my side so i had 2 arms to 'tell' these people i didn't want any of what they were 'selling'. :twisted:
