Mystical

A timeless landscape and the old castle simply crowns the scenery and composition.
Did you use some gradual grey filter (analogue or digital) to darken the sky?
The place is so photogenic that one - if possible - could spend a year just photographying that castle in different seasons, weather and time of day. Just like Hokusai painted Mount Fuji time and time again.

Have you tried experimenting with black-and-white or sepia settings?

best regards, pekka.

Thank you Pekka.
I did use an ND grad on this shot to balance the exposure between sky and forground. I will be going back.
