"Admiring..." is an interesting twist on to the Window Framed challenge.

One of the hardest things I have learned is that even if you have a good shot if voters do not feel the shot fit the category your score will tank. I really think that is was has happened here.

As for the photo itself.... I really like the idea and implementation. The composition is prefect. I love the reflection and it looks crystal clear (in the reflection specifically) from where I am sitting. I would be curious to see the castle itself, it looks amazing. The dof looks just right for a nice tight shot like this. I do like the border that you included, it tends to balance out the closeness. Overall this is a very nice shot, I think it may have done better in a different category.

Keep up the good work!

I think there'd be more impast if there were a bit more light. Still a nice comp, idea and execution.

Comment by JunieMoon:
Nice sky. Foreground is very dark, though. You can adjust its exposure by extracting that part and increasing brightness, as well as doing a bit of dodging. The other choice is to not have so much foreground, since its insertion into the composition (and at such a large amount0 should be better exposed.
