Photographer's Note
The castle Peles was built for the first king of Romania, Carol the First, between 1873 and 1914.Romantic, classic and art deco elements combine to form a Neo-Renaissance fantasy that was in fashion with German nobility of the time (king Carol came from the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family). Today it is a state museum and in need of some restoration...
Technical note: Canon M50 on P mode and a bit of a yellow tinted circular polarizer made by a Chinese company called KnightX.It comes in 49 mm too and is wonderful for landscapes. It tints everything a light golden-brown /yellow and improves contrast.
PS If you squint really hard you can see a wire that I mostly camouflaged using reflections and the polarizer..but it runs across the frame in its lower third. It's the internet! People at the small cafe and restaurants just behind this castle need their internetS!! :D

Hi Marius,
beautiful castle, as well as the surrounding vegetation. The wire would easily go unnoticed. As for the yellow polarizing filter, this hue detail is curious, but I think it would achieve the same effect in Photoshop or even in color temperature. Maybe because the Chinese like yellow! Great job, my freind.
Regards,
Lucas

Hi Marius
I have a very similar photo, taken in early September. But I really loved this place in winter, after heavy snowfall combined with frost!
Well done on managing to almost hide the wire, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it in your note. :-)
Thanks for sharing a pic from your amazing country, I've traveled there so many times (70s, 80s, and then with my own camera in the present millennium).
Best wishes
Kasia
