Scott,
; ; I did not use an ND filter, I exposed for the castle and set f/14 so it would expose a little longer. It was a single RAW shot and I did 3 runs through Adobe Camera Raw with the same shot so that each part of the shot would be exposed the way I wanted. I then used layer masking to punch through to each layer I found most pleasing. I flattened the 3 layers and then used detail enhancer with NIK Color Efex ; and again used layer masking to only use the parts of the NIK layer I found better. Last I used some sharpening and noise reduction where I had to.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. ; I am more of a meatball photo processor (think MASH) as I do not have a lot of time normally to really process photos like this. ; I do want to learn and have PS. ; Might have to take a month off from shooting to add these skills.

And are you doing some major cropping then too?

blueburst by mwjw, on Flickr

This one is not cropped at all...coulda been a little for this burst but left it uncropped. The other shot was only cropped on the bottom just a little to get rid of some of the tree line that was unecessary. The lens is a 70-300mm but my camera is a D7000 which is a DX format, the lens is a full frame FX lens, the photo was shot at 270mm but on the DX format it made it 405mm. ;
 
It's 5 o'clock somewhere, and golden hour in Tomorrowland is a good place for it. ; Just don't expect to find a drink there.
