Greetings from the Critique Club
Initial thoughts - My opinion
Well-made night shot which has some problems to get the association with the challenge topic on the first glance.
Composition/Content
The nicely lit castle is captured very direct in full frame without any direction to strengthen the intention. The tree and the two bushes in the foreground are not used as compositional element but rather appear as obstacles to the free view to the castle. Same holds for the reflection of the castle in the lake: because it's only showing a small part of the castle, it's hard to recognize it as for what it is.
A lower position, using the bushes as frame and zooming closer to the gate might have been way better. It is not necessary to get the whole castle. Cutting of parts of an object most times increase the interest, because the viewer can use his/her imagination to fill in the rest in his mind.
Camera work -technically
No particular issue here. Exposure is good, maybe only a tad on the dark side. Focus is good as well.
Digital Processing - Technical
Might have been sharpened a bit more.
Fits the challenge
As stated above, boundary or better transition is not easy to see on the first, even the second glance.
Good luck for you further submissions
PS: As this is my first Critique Club critique, it would be helpful to get some feedback if you like.

I'll give you the challenge theme at least. Your photo is not straight (an easy fix in photoshop) and the white balance appears to be off (bluish cast) It's also rather underexposed in the foreground.

| This is pretty, but too much like a snapshot or postcard image for my tastes. |

| Nice capture on the lighting and the details of the castle. The lights in the foreground add enough interest to make this more than the usual vacation shot. |
