Hello John,
A pretty composition of these trees in their autumn colours surrounding the lovely castle, which makes a fine focal point and yet blends so well into the background. The range of delicate red, yellow and green tones are beautifully rendered under a sympathetic ambient light. The blue sky offers a fine contrast to the colours of the landscape. Excellent sharpness.
