This is a really great shot! The contrast between the castle and the sky is superb. I also like the way that it looks like there is smoke behind the castle, it makes the image more full and solid. The background looks great too. All and all, this is a great shot, Nicely done.
You remember the great fire from 1979 that supposedly started in your garage where that chipmunk ingested some fertilizer and fell into a can of kerosene, instantly turning into a flying little fluffy little molotov cocktail that set a blaze leveling the whole neighborhood west of Newton's Hardware Store?
The thumbnail didn't do much for me but I'm sure glad I downloaded the picture. I mentioned to someone else the other day that I am about "castled" out, and I am but this one with it's dark rick colors and wonderful capture of the stone coupled with the stormy sky works for me. Excellent work.
