Nice one. Maybe the tower is a bit dark, compared to how the sky looks.

looking good user added image

I think the tower is looking dark cause the sky is in the background.

Same effect as when taking photos when the sun is behind the object.

nice looking castle you have here, very chosy ... nice job,

though i gotta agree with dj, the tower seems abit to dim from everything else... maybe tweaking that up will give it abit more life user added image
