This is certainly a magnificent photo. It has an almost ominous appearance the sudden bright spots of light against the straight black and grey in the clouds give a very nice contrast. It almost gives it, as is said well enought with the title, a firey image. The photo has an almost what I would call a wartorn feel to it. The colors also go tie in together very well. There's nothing that seems in the least out of place.

I gave yout a four on origionality because castles are a pretty common image; although this one is certainly unique. These are the type of images I personaly love to see.

This is a beautiful picture. I definately hope to see more that are just as, if not more, breathtaking. Keep up the good work.

What do you think?

First of all, I have to say that I admire your work.
This is a very beautiful HDR showing very nice cloud and light mixture, giving the whole picture a rather light look.
Yet, there is one thing that really disturbes me about this picture: you cut the castle on each side out of the picture. One or two steps back could maybe have gotten the whole castle on it. The whole picture seems to me kind of askew (the left side higher than the right/middle), but I think that's due to the wide-angle you've most likely used (no exif here).
Overall a very nice picture with a great way of using HDR-technique to create faveable pictures

I like this light HDR, I'm glad you haven't overdone it here!
