Every once in a while, I think its a good idea to revisit an image. This one has a kinda significance to me for 2 reasons. First, during this trip a couple of years ago, my passion for photography was reborn as well as my initial dabbling into the world of HDR imaging. In fact, this one was absolutely the first one that I ever processed. Second, not since my backpacking days of the early 90’s had I been back to Europe. Having recently separated from my wife, this trip seemed to be a way of “finding myself”…..just like some of my earlier trips. I am still looking by the way. Funny how that can be a lifelong search isn’t it?
So, anyway, I felt that this shot could use a little work with some techniques I have been working with. My intention was to give it a “painterly look” as well as pump up the vibrant color that I remember so well from that trip. Hope ya like 🙂

Wow.. nice work… looks like a fine art painting. I really like the way the light and complimentary colors "spotlights" the castle.
This is like a gorgeous painting. I love the colors and reflections. The clouds are wonderful, too. Amazing capture~ Have a great week. :0)

I found this while searching "painterly" keywords. I think what you have found is significant. I have found that each of us is destined to become the hero in at least one story — our own! And the purpose in life is to do the best we can with what we are born with. This is a piece of fine art. Glad to have made your acquaintance. Keep up the good work. Hope you will drop by sometime.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
