Taken at a little local castle on top of a hill over looking the city

I like your composition with the s-curve foot path and the pedestrian, leading into the castle and the distance trees, huge and imposing, as it should be. Snow on the ground adds texture. The castle is very good looking, nice details.

@Jeff: Compared to Pembroke Castle, Caernarfon Casle, Harlich Casle and denbigh Castle Yes it is small, and what's wrong with being smaller ? :))))
