This is a great shot. I understand about the sky, we get alot of overcast days where I'm at and if your visiting a place, you have to take the shot no matter. We can't control the sky. The photo is beautiful. The colors crisp and focus really good. The reflection in the water is cool too. Nice work!
The first thing I really saw was the 'face' of the tower - two upper windows (eyes), center (nose) and gate (mouth). Very nice capture - I hope you specified the location in your details. It looks like one of the walled cities in Germany I saw last summer.
Lovely, just lovely. Lots of colour on the rock and stonework, and the reflections off the water looks great. The greens of the grass are nice. Good crisp photo, nice visual impact, holds onto one's attention.
I must say unfair advantage as to where you live! My ancestor Duncan McVickie left Scotland in the 1600's. I have never been.Great shot, love the reflection of the inner arches on the water.You get and deserve my second highest mark an 8.
