The opulence of the architecture is pretty amazing. It looks like it takes up quite a bit of space. I like the view across the water and I think leaving the grasses in the foreground gives the image a nice balance.

A lovely well composed shot of the beautiful castle. Stunning architecture work. Excellent lighting and exposure values. Nice natural colors with very good focus and details. Excellent technique and technical excellence. Good story telling ability.
Good center of interest.
Very well done.

Congrats!

    Your nice review is most welcome. Glad you enjoyed the photo. I do need to point out though that the building is not a castle but an abbey!

Absolutely wonderful. Reminds me of a trip I took on a river in Germany. Sorry... can't remember the name of the river. I wonder if I will ever get used to this memory thingy that has been given to me after my illness... LOL Anyway... the scene is a wonderful capture with fantastic natural color and lighting. Great detail as well... breath of fresh air! :-)) Thanks for sharing!

This is a very interesting image that looks part photo and part artwork. I love the way this massive structure is nestled into the landscape, and it also leads the viewer through the grasses and across the water. Lovely colors!

Hello,
This is a beautiful shot. Love the way the abbey plays against the greenery. The water is a plus in your photo. The grass on the bottom frames it well.

Well executed and wow, is this open to visit? The colors are very natural, excellent focus and eye striking. You did a great job. The only suggestion I have is crop out the foreground grass to bring the focus of the castle closer to the subject viewing the picture, I would love to visit there one day. THank you for sharing.

A beautiful scenic view of this lovely Abbey, I like the view of it nestled amongst the trees,
And do serene beside the river,
Great natural colour, positioned well in the frame.
Lovely.
