A beautiful landscape image of the castle and moat shown on a perfect blue sky day. The composition is very good and colors appear natural. Good entry into contest. :)

This castle looks magnificent. It seems the masons who build it attempted to impress the enemies so that they might decide against a attack. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The reflections are interesting. The castle is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Fantastic photograph of this castle. With the blue sky in the background enhances the color of the castle. I also the the refection in the water of the castle. Good lighting and focus. Nicely composed. Sharp detail. Well done. Good luck in the photo contest.

a very appropriate entry to the "historic castle contest" with this excellent capture of the Herstmonceux (and not Herstmoncoux) castle; why not give some info concerning this castle?

A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that castle. Like its many tower turrets. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

I have yet to actually see a real castle, I dont think there is any here in Canada, they call them Forts here lol, and not as elegant. I love the calm water, maybe they only thought they needed the moat on two sides only, I love the angle to include the tree on the left, its a great little castle

I think this is an impressive and good looking castle, and you have pictured it so well. I especially like the fine reflections you have captured in the shiny water, and also the way the big tree on the left work as such a nice and natural framing. The castle is standing out really well from the blue sky.

The photo is nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in every part of the castle, and the exposure is perfect.

The photo is nicely cropped, and I think it is a very good balance in the composition. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A beautiful picture of the moated Elizabethan Herstmoncoux Castle in Sussex on England's south east the reflections of the castle on the waters of the wide moat framed by trees on either side under a clear blue sky is an added bonus. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. It's beautiful inside too.
