Wow - what great shots. I visited all of those locations this summer during my first trip to Europe. In the past few weeks I have been reading this forum and trying to learn a little about photography. This past summer, I took many shots without the slightest bit of knowledge about composition. I just centered the subject and shot. Seeing your pictures really makes those places come alive. Mine are just pictures of stuff. Now I gotta go back 
Were you standing on the Marienbrücke for the shot of Neuschwanstein? We didn't have time to check it out from the bridge.
