Any thoughts would be appreciated.

A really pleasing shot with excellent DOF. although in some ways this leaves you struggling between two focal points - the foreground and the castle. That said it is a strong image, nice one!

Re: Eileen Donnan

Thanks for your kind words, I was looking for a slightly different view point.

That's what I like about this shot. Instead of just presenting a cliche'd image of the castle you've given us some its context. I'd imagine it looks much more impressive at full size.
For my taste the RHS foreground is a bit under-exposed - I'd have liked to see a bit more detail in the water and vegetation, but a nice shot all the same.

Thanks Stuart for your interest, I think many are taken here from the other side, preferred the fore ground here.
