Hi Uli, the download link seems to be corrupt.
… and a great shot with nice clouds over the castle noone can know!
Thanx for pointing out. Seems there went something wrong. Should be working now.

A 1000 ways to Sunday to approach this one; decided to just try to equalize the lighting and enhance the castle a bit.

I chose the more traditional landscape crop here.
@Popanz did you use an old manual lens here?

I like this one a lot, thanks for sharing. I thought B&W and contrast, maybe??

My attempt in DT 5.1. Nice capture so it didn’t need much work.

I felt this image was well suited to the texture softening technique featured in one of Boris’ videos (episode 79, example 1). The texture softening has been applied to the grass and foliage in the foreground, while the castle has been excluded by way of a drawn mask and sharpened ever so slightly in the diffuse or sharpen module:
