Castle Of Gold, a photo from Dorset, England

Photographer's Note

last summer
this Castle hold a huge amout of history with its battles and people who lived in it aslo the ghost that roam around it

but at the same time its one on the most romantic places in Dorset and can be photographed at any light if its sunset sunrise rain overcast snow whatever the elements throw at this beautful landmark which commands miles of views you are for sure to get a good shot :)
early mornings when the fog covers the base of the castle and no land can be seen well its magical as if you are in the clouds

hope you all like
thanks for looking
and thanks for comments made on my other work :)

Great effect in the sky with the colors of the setting sun. I like the saturated colors.

Hello Phill,
it is a matter of taste, if somebody decides to use couloured grads of such intensity. Anyway, it really is a lovely view, and the tone of the picture adds a lot to its quite surreal, wide-angled atmosphere.

Next time we need to see the ghost in the castle!

Nice capture, beautiful colors. Certainly a magical place.

Hello Phill,
This is an excellent image full of wonderful,warm colours.....a bit like an old oil painting. The sky is attractive and the castle on the hill top provides the focal point. I think a plain white border and thin black frame would enhance the colours even more. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Hello Phill,

Very nice picture with wonderful colors in the sky !
The composition is good too, with the wall on the right which makes a diagonal, driving the eye to the castle.

Welcome to TE Phill. I love your nickname... :)
Great photo you have here. The sky is wonderful. I owned that Sigma and really miss the way it renders those skies. I like your composition very much. That wall guiding the eyes into the little fortress is a great element. Love the golden tones. Miss some sharpness though (probably you're still finding your way on rendering your photos for web; or probably you just like them like this). Great one!
