Nicely done. I really like that angle of the castle shot - I might have to go try that one! Fun to play around a bit in Photoshop just to see what you can come up with! Last month I started goofing around with a castle shot myself, and came up with something strange that I liked: The original shot was a little boring, and with a slightly blown out sky background...so it was fun to mess around with color, saturation, and drop in a new sky.
Easier than photoshop to do HDR pics for sure. (photomatix) You can also get around their license and watermark with some creative selections from the patch tool. So I have heard.
