    Looks good though bit slanting to the left and could possibly do with a bit less sky.
    Posting the older processed would give us some idea about what you did here.

    Yes, it looks a bit tilted but very nice structure. Is there a very slight yellow color cast in the image ? The portion of the sky looks good to me

    Re: Casa Loma

    This is the very first "castle" I saw as a child. I loved the secret passage in the place (I was determined any house I owned would have one; a dream I have not managed to fulfill) and the huge stables. I haven't been there in decades; something to think about doing again at some point.

    Interesting, non-standard view of the place.

    Manfred,

    Thanks for the comments, I did quite a few interior shots and a one or two full exterior (as much as I could get within the frame).

    Hi Binnur,

    Thanks for the comments and critique, yellow cast is a possibility.

    Interesting looking place John. What was/is it. I know it's clearly now open to the public but I guess it has a history?

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the comments. Casa Loma was built by Sir Henry Pellatt as a home for his family, Pellatt was known for bringing electrical power to Canadian homes. See the link for more details, a spoiler alert regarding the castle is, according to Canadian law the government can seize control of an enterprise if it is viewed as a monopoly.
