Fyvie Castle - re-visited:

I love the elegant symmetry of the structure, and the mix of the colors - powder blue sky, pastel castle atop a lime green lawn; it's just too bad you couldn't fit in more to the sides and the foreground.

Thanks for the comment, Leon. I agree with you, it would have been better if I'd used a wide angled lens. This is just a fraction of the entire width of this castle, one of the most haunted and famous in Scotland, and a very short car journey from our home. Hoping to get some more when Peter and I get the time!

Sincere regards: Karen

The colours look a bit unreal, don't know how to explain this. It's the mix of white balance, light and overall image brightness which makes the image look a bit unnatural. It looks as if you used some kind of Shadow/Highlights filter or similar to compress the dynamic range coupled with a slightly inaccurate choise of white balance and saturation. But all this is just my personal opinion.
