Another from the NI Meet. I tried an HDR of this, and this version which was just one shot with various filters, but I'm not really happy with either of them as the castle ended up so noisy, although if I had exposed for the castle I would have entirely blown the sky *sigh*
Anyway, C&Cs welcome

The dark castle just adds even more atmosphere.
Crackin' !!!!

I think this is a lovely shot, love the foreground you used here and you got alot out of the sky.
Can I ask what combination of filters you used, as all my shots (about 100) of Dunluce, were absolute crap.
I would have been delighted to get anything near as good as you managed here.
Nowt wrong with this. You know the joy of photography is that you can get a lot of detail, but that some bits are best left unseen. The silhouette of the castle actually adds to the whole, so don't beat yourself up - just say that's what you intended all along

Just caught up with this one Katy (and I was hoping to join in but was offered a trip to Greece instead! ) I visited this site in December last year but didn't have time to get down to the beach. Still want to though!
I think you are being a bit hard on yourself its a very atmospheric shot IMO

A beautiful shot Kate, a great atmosphere with lovely colours and reflections and the silhouette of the castle has a strong enough outline to work as it is.
But if you have a lighter version with castle detail it sounds as though you also have the relevant exposures to achieve a little of what you wanted and lift the shadows. Have you tried a bit of manual HDR, adding a 2nd layer with the lighter version which you only get to show through where this image is dark and then adjust the opacity for subtlety? (I can explain how to do this with PSPX2 but do know that Photoshop has the identical feature somewhere!)
