Ooops..confession coming up. Lightning was added later on using a plug-in. I also painted some more disturbing clouds to go with that mood....basicly just had a lot of "fun" in Photoshop, LOL. The bitchy part was masking that ivy...sighes..never again....

Hi Andreas. Lovely castle and beautifull composition between black and white and the green of the vegetation. I was looking for the ghost but I haven't seen him. I'm also very disapointed... there's no snow... no doggy walk, it's too cold maybe ? ;-))) Ciao. Nathalie

When I first looked at your photo I thought to myself "what a heck of a lot of work went into this image"...then I dropped down and read your comments. Great effect. Well done Zacko! ..so tell me....how long after doing this were you able to see objects further away than 18 inches?...LOL. I'd still be stumbling into furniture.
