This is a wonderful image. I like that it is all in shades of blue as well. It has a storybook quality to it. It feels "Wagnerian".
I have no suggestions on how to improve it. On the contrary, would like to see a large version of it.

Cloning out the dark rocks out of the darker water may improve it a bit ... or it may not. Probably would make little difference.

The beauty of this image is that faint light coming from the lower sky and spreading into total darkness at the corners.

I like this. My only criticism is the lack of a large photo to better enjoy the scene.

Super blue presntation, Peter. Very dramatic. Crazy old castle on that little island. I would probably clone the small black rocks in the fore, but that's just me.

Love this Peter. Very medieval looking and it reminds me of some classic rock album covers from the 70's.

Peter, What a great mood you captured in this image. I like this composition, love the light and cool blues fading to darkness. Very nice!

Excellent and quite the moody medieval look to the image. Really well done.

Very engaging image, Peter. I like the way the largest rock and the castle both have similar vertical reflections. I could see significant crops from the left and bottom but that would be a totally different image. I would have pulled out a tele after this shot to get some concentration of the upper right 2/3's of this image.

Beautiful and moody
