Wow, what a wonderful scene! The castle with the clouds and the background, spectacular!!! Great shot, Love how the castle comes up from those dark trees. Once agian; great shot!

I agree that this is a good shot. Your balance and the distance captures is impressive. And your vantage point is very attractive. By the way if you can adjust the highlights of the close by trees it will lighten up the whole shot. I feel like half of the shot is in dark :)

Comment on my new shot Cradle of life

"just" a pretty castle? it is a fantastic castle...absolutely gorgeous. The way you took this photo..with the castle looming in the front and then the pretty grasses and mountains..water..the whole thing with the beautiful sky..its just one gorgeous photo. I like the dark trees in the front...it kind of makes the eye realize how much drama there is in this photo..very very wonderful job!!

Very nice shot.

The castle is goregeous! This is a wonderful shot! What I would do to live there. . . .it's just breath taking. 10/10 & into my favorites!

Very nicely composed. I agree that you could probably improve the lighting of this photo in Photoshop...

I just love this castle!! ^_^

Amazing image the scenery is beautiful and the castle looks so much like its from a dream it makes the image perfect! Great Job!!! 10/10

Great photo, I like it all!!! Wonderful place. /HJ

I went to Neuschwanstein earlier this year. I even uploaded a photo of it, but I like yours better. It was a beautiful place to go visit.

This is a nice shot from the bridge. It would be a fabulous shot if only you took the time to enhance it in photoshop. It needs a fair amount of contrast work. All the information is there, you just have to bring it out. I'd try levels... move the gamma a bit to the left and the right level control a bit to the left to bring out detail in the shadows. Then you need to play with the left hand slider, moving it slightly to the right. You could also fool around with the shadow/highlight contrast adjustment. Your sky is beautiful and isn't blown out so you can do great things with it. You might want to use the dodge tool set at lime 15% to bring out detail in the trees as well. Good luck with it. My daughter was married here and I love this part of Germany.
-P-

very nice.where at in Germany?

Haha...That is indeed a pretty castle. Personally I'd love to see it.

This castel is named Neuschwanstein , this is one of the castel of Louis II from Baviere . Nice shot .

Here is another photo of this outstanding castle.
For history lovers, here is the official website :-)

And here the Google earth connection

Neuschwanstein is indeed pretty...and was pretty expensive too, not only because of its artificial grotto inside. Bavaria's King Ludwig II loved building castles - until the money ran out. His death in a nearby lake is still kind of a mystery. (Sorry for the history lesson!) This particular castle, located in southern Bavaria, is one of Germany's top tourist spots. But interestingly enough I've never seen a picture of it in sunny weather (except on those kitschy postcards)!

Great shot. Brings back lots of fond memories.

Neuschwanstien is my favorite castle. You captured it perfectly. It is my dream to go back and visit Germany again and retour this castle. Wonderful job!!!!

Castle Neuschwanstein is like a fairy tail castle indeed :)
It even posed as a sample for Disneyland, i heard.

Great shot, thanks for sharing it here.
