This was shot as a jpg and no editing other than croping!

Sweet photo, the colors really add interest to the subject. You should post a larger version, if you can. That way we can critique on the details.

1. get a free flickr or photobucket account
2. upload the pic to one of those
3. get the direct url to the photo (easiest in photobucket)
4. paste that in your message between IMG tags

Very nice. I like the composition and the cloudy sky adds interest.

With PS, you could make the clouds more dramatic and turn up the lights around the castle too (I did them as seperate layers).

Hope you don't mind my tinkering.

Dramatic! Very nice.

[The Intimadator]

Not bad at all!!

Intimadator that pic is great, nice job.

Navydoc, be careful when sharpening. The edges are too sharpened on the castle. If you have it on a layer already, you can feather the selection edges of the castle to avoid this in the future. That way the castle is sharp on the interior without the edges being jaggy and blends in nice.

Ya'll missed the huge amount of dust....

and the line 2/3 of the way up on the left.

Allscape,

Thanks. I did the PP in haste. Next time I offer suggestions, I'll spend more time on my efforts.

Dust?...I didn't do any noise reduction, only tweaked the levels, first on the sky, then the castle.

Line?...It's in the op's original image and I didn't remove it. I think that is the cable that 'tinkerbell' flies from. Again, all I did was suggest making the colors more dramatic.

Thought I'd have a quick play with it. I'll be there in January, so hopefully I can get some good lighting for the same type of shot.

Look at the top of the castle, all through the center and above...lots of dust marks.

Nice shot. I actually like the dark and mysterious original shot. It is not so Disney, but I like it.

I think navydoc did an excellent edit and opened up the shadows in the foreground which I think helps the image.

But then I think griptape outdid that.
