Is this too blue?

Just a bit too OTT although the castle is great. You could just tone down the blue saturation in PS or whatever? I might clone out the blown patch to the left too, and there is a big ?dust spot towards the top right.
There is lots of potential in this shot and worth getting spot on.

Wow, didn't notice that spot till you pointed it out. Also for some reason I thought that was the sun/moon, turns out it was indeed a blown out white cloud. Changed the saturation on the clouds and added a red-boost for the building. Alright, attempt 2!

That looks much better to my eyes. Let's see what the others think!
Best wishes, Kris.

Yeah, the sky colour is much nicer now. However, not sure what I think of the red-boost I did for the castle. What say others?

Whelmed you should process the sky on it's own because this isn't working.
I find it to purple now, it's almost like a evil castle or something
You should get the blue from the first photo and make it lighter, by my eyes that might work.

Oooh I dunno The colour of the sky in the 2nd one looks very twilight-ish to me, but the sun on the castle doesn't, so it looks a bit odd.
The castle is fantastic though

The castle looks great, but the sky still looks like a substituted background layer. The really dark bit of sky on the left isn't helping.
What does an original single exposure image look like?

I agree. Mont St Michel looks great but the sky is awful (sorry:blush. It just doesn't look real somehow. I can still see the dust spot too.

I take criticism well, please keep it coming! This is kind of like going to photography school for me so thanks for all the suggestions / reviews (critical or not).
So how bout this one then? It's the sky from one of the frames just squished into this one. I need to touch up my feathering between the sky and the building, but it's almost there. Went back to the castle in the first one but added a burn on the right & bottom of the castle as well as the grass to give it more character.
Thoughts? Too bright now? This HDR stuff is murder!
Edit: Made it darker which I think might be better

The first one is the most real to me but still not perfect, the darker blue on the left is the problem I think. You might even want to make the sky even more brighter.
The darker sky looks unnatural and it's draws my eyes while I want to look at the castle.
edit:
A very quick PP to show you what I had in mind.
