Good detail, I like the color, good texture.

A brighter day would have made a much better photo. Great focus but looks a little on the sad side due to lack of sunshine.

I'd have liked to see that last spire that got clipped off. Image seems a bit dark/flat.

CINDERELLA! :) The tower at the top was cut off, first thing I noticed and then was drawn to the people crossing the draw bridge. I think different cropping would have worked a little better with this and taken me back to another era of urban.

Yet another underexposed shot this challenge. When the sky is this bright your cameras meter makes everything darker so you need to manually overexpose your shot one or maybe two stops. PM me if you have questions.

The softness of this photo gives it the dreamy effect you were trying to get; I\'m glad you ignored my advice to sharpen it! The parts of trees at the sides give this a natural setting. I like the swan too. I wish the top of the one tower wasn\'t cut off. And too bad there were so many clouds that day; I think a blue sky would have been more fairytale-like.

Nice Wish I could see just a bit more of the top, and bottom. Was this cropped?

Too bad you chopped off the top of the tower. Image needs brightening a little and colour saturation adjustment would have liven it up a little. I would have also included a tiny bit more of the trees and the water on the bottom to frame it better.

Comment by Dave Gordon:
Fairytale indeed. If there weren't people in the picture I'd swear it was a mockup. Is it a theme park? Should I be able to recognize it if I were in the mainstream? It makes a great photo, and amusing after some of the more depressing entries in this challenge.
