Unusual angle and lighting. But all working nicely together.

Thanks for the comments Geoff. This is the Buda Castle in Budapest, Hungary. A tourist resort now but the splendor remains. All of the floodlights and mixed lighting makes it a challenge to capture.

Hi John. I like this image. This composition has a lot of interesting things to discover as the eye moves around. The only suggestion I have is to darken the bright lighting in the stairwell ??? at the lower center so it does not dominate the entire image. Because of its brightness, the eye is drawn toward the stairwell and it is harder to appreciate the other parts such as exterior walls and towers and the room in the lower right.

Thanks for the comments Ken. I'll give it a try.

Hi John,

Awesome. I like the lit stairwell. It's like the entrance to a hidden domain under the castle.
