I feel a certain imbalance in the composition. The space at the left attracts the eye for two reasons: its vastness and the very light tones of the water. Too light perhaps? I end up not really fixing my eyes on the foreground rock. I think maybe a crop on the left and/or darker tones there might solve the problem. I may also try to print the big foreground rock with some more dynamics (i.e. more contrast). Maybe also darken the light parts of the sky?...

 

I think this is a nice shot that gives things to work on, but for me what we have here is not yet the end result.

For me your landscapes portfolio is just amazing. I just hope that I can learn something new by inspecting your works of art, which they really are.

Ilan is right for drawing attention to the empty lightness of the left hand side. It might appear unbalanced if things are to be centre-weighted around the castle. But I dont see any need to weigh things around the castle. An object of similar bulk to the foreground rock but appearing on the left would probably set up a conflict between left and right foreground. For me this has clear lower right to upper left direction with scale diminishing to the sliver of land in the distance, exaggerated by the pano. Same goes for the sky. It graduates to bright towards the upper left.

 

Theres nice detail, especially in the foreground rock, though I detect a fuzziness here and there perhaps owing to PS or compression. Toning is interesting but I think a little too blue-pink in the extreme highlights.
