Jeff:
This is incredible. I love all of the details that you have packed into a
relatively small land area. By stretching uthe castle vertically, you've
really infused it with a "magical" feel. If not supported by magic, the
castle would likely collapse upon itself. I think my favorite thing is the
multiple turrets soaring upwards, each striving upwards, yet neither
competing nor overshadowing the others. One (extremely) small cirticism -
putting the clock atop the highest tower isn't working for me. To my eyes
it interrupts the visual symmetry of all the other towers (which all have
sand green roofs).
Any chance of a full picture (the "final" picture cuts off the bottom)?
