i'll write some stuff about the image later ...
later: nothing special, just combined two photos which i previously edited as hdr+tone mapping. since it was expert editing i decided to utilize the ruleset and do "something" :-)
both photos are super cool just as they are and i love them very much
thanks all for nice and honest comments (except Larus :-) j/k)
"no it's not a bird brush" LOOL

first let me tell you that i'm sorry for submitting this motive/subject again ... but i really didn't have opportunity and time to chase something else ... and besides i'll be on vacation without computer for the next 17 days (23rd today) so i'll submitt this and what the heck !
made from 2 photos, one the castle and the other was evening sky with birds :-)
HDR + tonemapped from 5 differently exposed/exported tiff's
Aside from that this image is powerfully done, all the stuff people notice, let me say that I find the foreground vegetation to be particularly well-balanced in the overall composition, where many might have left it quite dark. It's a great anchor to the otherwise-symmetricality of the image as a whole. Beautiful!
Well not bad but still, not really to my taste. I do realize that is intentional, hence the title but the fact is that the sky doesn´t match the reflection just isn´t to my taste, think it should be the other way around, the reflection should give it away as a hazardous place to be, that´s just my gut reaction. Also I am not really digging the foliage in the foreground, just want to remove it so I can see the reflection better but that´s also not a big drawback. Gave a 6.
Interesting foreground, subject, and background. The only thing throwing me off is the differences in the clouds in the reflection vs. the ones in the sky, but that may have been intended based on the title.
real clever idea and done well, but I think I would have rather seen the "darker" side of the castle be in the reflection. Under water kind of has that mystical, dark, cold, deathly feel plus...I fricken lost my train of thought, hopefully the brain will kick in and I can come back to edit this.
Nice shot - Like the tones - Great PP skills - I do find the difference in the clouds and the reflection very distracting and I know that's how it should be but I myself find it distracting.
