Burg Maus, overlooking the Rhine and the town of St Goarshausen in Germany. Sharpened, brightness -10/contrast +10, fiddled with colour balance for sepia effect, resized, added border & submitted. I'm very proud of this, one of the best I've taken I reckon.

great scene...I think it could use a bit more contrast - seems sort of flat

This is a beautiful scene and I don't think the sepia does it justice. There isn't enough contrast to show the detail in the picture. I would have loved to see it in color and I think B & W would have shown it off better than the sepia.

This photo is detracted by the sepia tones. The object of interest, the castle, is too far away and the mountain doesn't add to the impact. I would have made the castle a bigger part of the image.

I think color may have looked better on this one, the building is too close to the shade of the hillside around it to stand out in this version

A closer crop to fill the frame with this wonder IMO would improve the power of this shot. I like the view to the top of the hill but wouldn't miss the uninteresting foreground. Sepia works well. All the best.

Neat but a little too brown for my taste. Good composition though. Neat subject too.

I love the aged appearance you have given this.

The composition is good but it seems to be lacking contrast and a full tonal range. There does not appear to be any true blacks in the image and as such it comes across as a little flat. Using a black point and a slight curves adjustment would likely improve it immensely. I understand you were going for an olde world feel but a more subtle sepia tone may have added to the mood.
