I love this spot. It looks like you masked off the background and applied a layer of haze or gaussian blur to it. It has a tilt-shift look almost. I'm surprised this didn't score just a little higher.
I like the idea of this picture but, I wonder if its an actual origional. Of if this "castle" has been copied and pasted onto the background ...the both of these dont seem to mesh.
Very nice! The light and sharpness gives it a 3-d effect. Would have been nice if you also had managed to get the cliffs in full focus but that's only to be picky.
Where is this incredible place???!!!!! I'd like to say that I love the photo as much as the subject, but I find the lighting is more interesting on the cliffs in the background than on the subject itself. A real pity because this could have been awesome. Perhaps some d&b might have brought out the detail more.
