 Eilean Donnain in Scotland's Highlands. This is such a beautiful spot - I only wish there's been better weather! I wasn't quite sure where the crop should lie so grateful for any advice on whether it should have been tighter/wider etc.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Isn't this castle from either The Holy Grail or Princess Bride? Or both possibly; I've always enjoyed touring castles whenever I'm overseas. Anyway nice shot but I think it could use some work. I don't know if that great mat of yellowed vegetation in the bottom right does much for the comp; it's just there and partly swallowing the castle's reflection, and draws the eye away from the castle. I would love to have seen more of the ramp leading up to the castle from the right, but maybe there's just a huge carpark full of tour buses there :-) The light's a little dull but that's Britain for you. I think more contrast would have helped to add some drama.

Hope this has been helpful
