What a great pic! This is absolutely beautiful. Just excellent.

This is a very attractive picture, thanks to your manipulations. You did a great job in adding that nice sunset. If I were you, I would have skipped that parking place with the bins. In my opinion, I would make the castle more authentic.But that is just a detail, you get high marks from me!

I have to agree with Jerry. Absolutely beautiful. Great job. 10/10 definately

Wow! this is amazing!

Bob is gonna be jelous when he sees this. Who is going to win this castle war between the two of you? This is great. I love the dodging and burning on the castle walls. It's almost as good as how much Bob is gonna burn when he spots this baby. You will have to dodge him if you want to live. Like the sunset. It looks as natural as it can be and looks like it belongs there. There is only one thing missing...well, two things...big white birds that talk. Run while you can Brian.

WOW Brian.. you have done a wonderful job with this... I wouldnt have guessed it was 2 pics... great manipulation.... very very well done..

While I agree with all the guys speaking above and before me I would only like to add that once you are busy with skipping things from here - please let us also get rid of the lit lamps which are just redundant. Only because of the lamps I voted as low as 9/10 ! LOL
Seriously thank you very much for sharing this supreme beauty with all of us.

Amazing work here Brian. This is just beautiful.

Beautiful! Good job!

What an interesting combination! You pulled it off very beautifully! excellently done!

Great melding, I thought @ 1st that it was one image w/ other tweaks done to it. The dodge/burn effects give it a spotlit feel that really shows it off. Very nice job

hi brian, this image is really stunning. the lighting is dramatic and perfect. you did a great job. jen

You did a splendid job on this image. Adding the sunset was brilliant and the work you did on the lighting just perfected it. I can't imagine how it could be better.

Hey Pal...have to agree with the above...fantastic manip' as Pat says you better dodge as I'ma gonna do a goody on yer!......Have a good hol' and maybe we'll see you both on Thurs..eh! will give you a bell...20 outa 10

Splendid picture, To relieve the walls, it has been correct decision.

Excellent Image, and even better post work!
Another thing I'd have dealt with is the antenna on the top of the castle, but I just wish I had something as wonderful to photograph in the first place!
10/10 from me!

This is a a wonderful image you have created - well done !! I can see you have put a lot of work in to the castle walls - all worthwhile, it is fantastic. :)

HOLY MOLY! This is just absolutely breath-takingly beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! I have GOT to hop a plane and go shootin with you and Bob someday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pleeeeeeeease! And can I pick up Jerry along the way too?

Masterfully done Brian! High marks from me for sure!

This photograph is absolutely magnificant! The way you captured the sunset and with just the perfect lighting! It's a stunner that's for sure! Vicky

Beautiful photograph. Exquisite job of combining photos. No improvement necessary. Although it is interesting that the front castle walls are "lighted" naturally and the sun is in the back.

What a good effect!
It looks so good. Congratulations,
Paul

pretty much everything has been said. it's a really good, surreal manip. very cool looking. you did a good job^^

What an amazing picture! I just LOVE the lighting behind the castle. Awesome work.

Well done manipulation, very effective. I really like how you have created this artificial lighting scene that speaks of importance. I hope to see more like this soon. :-)

Brian - Great work! Your image is a pleasure to behold. I did find myself not wanting to see so much foreground. Have you tried a little cropping to reduce the ammount of foreground? Thanks for sharing this fine work.

Hi, it's a nice manip you got here. It is well executed. The only problem I got with it is that the lighting on the castle looks fake given that it is strongly backlit by the sunset. I think darkening the castle would make it look more realistic.
Cheers,

Woooooow, nice castle

This is a beauty of an image. You did alot of manupliating and it looks great. In fact, I thought it was a painting at first. If I see this, I will give it a 10 :>

Very nice work!

This is so bold and beautiful. I love castles and I love what you have done here. Nice work!! Cheers..............................LPF

You definately have skills in photo editing. Gorgeous shot, and I love the castle too.

Doesn't look right - 10am facing sun on the castle, and then backlit by a sunset sky - it's a little too unrealistic for my tastes, and the merge can be seen at full size. Also perhaps going for a thirds split rather than in half would help bring more balance - it's nice to have a dynamic sky and also nice to have a foreground full of detail, but dangerous to try and give both equal space in a photo. Otherwise, the two separate elements both look promising, and I'd be interested to see the original shot of the castle. For those who don't mind unrealistic images, this would be a eye catching piece though.

Nice work!

You've got some tallent and patience. Well done!

Straight to favorites...

just found this one on the featured page...
I just love the overall work, especially the random dodging on the walls, looks terrific!

This is a wonderful picture, as all seem to be. But one thing I noticed. As beautiful as "Bamburgh Castle at Night" is,
It's a little strange to see the lighting on the castle as such with the sunset you encorportatd behind the castle.

Great work Shedhead, youve done a great job on this.
