Castle on a hill

[Jaedon]

Ok here's what I am looking for. I am going to try and shoot this castle as a HDR but I'd like you input on which angle looke better or if neither work and then I will find a better angle to shoot it from.

The is Casa Loma. A castle built in the early 1900's in the City of Toronto by a man who simply wanted to out do his neighbors. It is inspired by a few different castles in Spain and is build from a combination of local stone and imported stone from Spanish and Italian quarries.

My first thought on this angle from below the castle is that it is one that few people actually see and it interested me because I drive past it every day on the way to work. Personally I like the way it seems formidible and lonely sitting behind the wall and atop the hill.

I know the trees are distracting but I felt that they added to the sense of lonliness and the ominous feeling that the castle can give.

I will be reshooting this when the clouds give way and give me th elighting that originally drew me to this location. This section faces south so as the sun rises it really shows off the tera cotta tiles on the roof and warms up the image in general. All this time waiting for snow to get the shot I want and now we haven't seen a sunrise in 3 weeks.

So enough talking already. Here's 2 angles of the castle for you to form opinions and impressions from:
