The two floodlit photos are great, very atmospheric, and you've sure caught that reflection nicely. I'm impressed that you have captured good natural (low) light levels on the surrounds but still managed to avoid the floodlights blowing out.

You were cursed with British skies for the first shot but the last night-time picture is lovely.
Best wishes,

Even though it is the most photographed castle in the UK - this one has for a long time been on my 'to do' list.
I just hope that when I eventually get around to it - I manage to get a couple of shots as good as your floodlit shots - very nice indeed.

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

I've been there, done it, in terrible weather, bright mid summer sunshine and autumn colours but have never done justice to this romantic setting. My images of Eilean Donan pail into insignificance compared to Alimid's lovely submissions.Even though it is the most photographed castle in the UK - this one has for a long time been on my 'to do' list.
