Lovely. The castle is still on my wish-list to visit... once. (But now I just returned from my holidays in Austria-Karnten, so this 'll have to wait ...)
Maybe, if you like photoshopping, you could try to lighten the castle a little bit such that it becomes more white. That would make it even more fairy-like to me. Well, just a thought.

Great picture. My wife and I will be visiting Germany this fall, and will hopefully get some great pictures like this.

If you don't mind I have a few questions:
What were the shot settings?
How much cropping was done?

Thanks,

That is one of my major destinations for the future, I have a thing for castles, and that is certainly one of the greatest ones in existence. Beautiful shot, great weather. Nice work!

Thankyou for all the good comments.
As I was on a holiday that involved some mountain walking, I took my Digital Ixus 400 rather than my EOS 350d. As I am a great believer that the composition is more important than post processing the shot is pretty much straight from the camera with only a levels tweek and batch framer.
