Would like a closer shot, and it seems a little out of focus all the way around. Not to bad though.

Composition is nice ΓΆ€“ but the castle appears blurry to me and the branches in the foreground are distracting. Good luck!

The foreground seems to be stealing focus from the castle. Maybe a tighter crop would help?

I think you had the right idea with trying to frame it with the trees and fence, but the DOF seems shallow IMO

Interesting subject. There is a bit too much going on in the foreground for my liking though. Also lacking sharpness & seems to be tilted.

Sorry but this comes across far too much like a rushed snapshot. I am sure this building is fascinating, and there are other angles from which you could have taken your photo which would have made it more of a feature. As it is the eye is drawn to the mass of foliage in the foreground which is very distracting.

It looks out of focus to me, but in this case I think it helps give a fairy-tail/dream-like quality to the image.
