Nice shot and a bit spooky. Is this in Scotland? Good work

Hard to see the castle, but I like this image anyway. I especially like what you've done with the colors, as it makes it appear surrealistic.

They should forbid people like you to take pictures. A few more like you out there and all the rest of the photographers will be useless. Dreamlike landscape. 10

Nice colors and textures. I think the castle needs to be closer; my eye slides right past it.

Wow, long exposure and moonlight? Awesome.
I like it how the slope of the hill leads the eye trought the frame, suddenly you struck a ruin and the imagination comes up with its own fairytale.

Wonderful exposure, colors and composition.

Mystical and very good.

the green makes it very mysterious, and I like the contrast between the smooth lake and the rough, rocky land. This is sunset? or moonlight? I wish I could see the stars better, they're cool. Perhaps with a little selectice processing, you could make the sky's colors more deep and dramatic. I'd love to see it.

I think this shot was intentinally taken from a good distance to add drama to the title. I like it.

Moody and mysterious. Fits the title.

Sensational. The colour/light is tremendous.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice shot, but I find the castle a bit too insignificant to really fit the title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/12/2003 06:29:56 PM
Very neat mood you've captured. I find it lacks scale. maybe a foreground object would have aided in knowing the size of what Im looking at.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I really like the color here -- the green constrasted with the evening sky. I think I would have shifted slightly to the right to be more in keeping with the rule of thirds. Great shot!

Good composition, but too underexposed
