 A castle in the champagne wineyard. What a cool location! The sky was covered, but the light "mystic".

WOW! What a setting. I like how the castle appears small amidst the forest of various colored trees. Nicely composed too! The symmetry is there, though, with the two trees in the foreground serving as almost frames to the shot. Great vista!

Nice composition, but lacks a certain punch.

I'd like to see the castle slightly further into the top left of this photo. Also a polarizer would have been nice for that white sky. Overall, this is a good photo though. 8

Wow! When can I move in? ;-) Very nice composition; however, I feel it lacks colour. Pity the sky wasn't a crisp blue that day (I know, we have no control over the weather lol).
