i like the suggestion by lisamidi for the crop. BUT, I would leave in the yellow object. Crop to just below it. That creates this really interesting triangle with the castle, tree/hill and yellow object. Moves your eye around the image in a very dynamic way - creates nice tension.--Rene

What Walter suggests sounds very intresting, although I have to admit, good quality landscapes is a weakness of mine.

Yes, I agree with Walter. That would make it a panorama size which could be very interesting as it is a great subject.

A Nice looking image, but somehow there's too much foreground there for me and it looks a little murky too. I'm going to be quite extreme here and suggest cropping half the foreground out, up to, and including the yellow object on the left. I think that will give a wider looking format and will accentuate this magnificent vista.

Almost a great shot, the sky is excellent and the castle is a nice focal point. I think it just needs something a little more distinct in the left foreground to add some balance.

Interesting image with some great light.
