A very fine shot. I like this black and white presentation. It seems particularly appropriate to the subject. Great perspective with fine detail throughout. Best wishes in the contest.

This picture has for sure a historic and special place, even being in the water section, which is outstanding.
This castle is huge and of course the COVID has stopped everything, and I am happy that it gets in many countries into neutralization again.
Your angle and position is more than perfect as your distance is showing us all the details in a really special way - and your mixed media application has got a perfect detailed picture, all the best of luck, xoxo

Beautiful archeticture in black and white or gray scale--that is the building. The sky even matches, but not as lovely. Can see a little color in the foreground. Really like history/historical--best wishes.

It is a wonderful looking castle. I find it very moody and dramatic cuz of the high enough contrast . Beautiful soft reflection in the water . Actually, I like that you included some of the foliage in the foreground. Wonderful comp.
