What a beautiful castle. I would like to know more about it, but your image is excellent. You choose a symetric composition which is very appropriate for a "formal" subject such as this which is inherently symetric. The gardens and benches add to the symetry, and the hill on the left and tree on the right break the symnetry but provide a sense of balance. Well done. Posted: 10/10/2022 11:28:02

Gary, I would add to Stan comments: the colorful Lupins and the path in the middle leads our eyes directly to the castle. I think that the colors are a little flat, so I added light to the shadows, lowered slightly the highlights, and moved a touch the Dehaze slider in ACR creating a little punch to the colors and contrast Posted: 10/11/2022 09:57:52
