Imabari Castle (今治城, imabarijō?) is a Japanese castle in Imabari, Ehime, Japan. This castle is well-known as one of the three 'Mizujiro', literally 'Castles in the sea' in Japan.
This castle was constructed by Todo Takatora, who is known as a daimyo who had good knowledge and techniques to build castles from 1602 to 1604 as his own castle.
Stan, the first one is great, but the second one is a little too warm for me, unless that is what you were going for. Great captures, better than I could have done, Kyle
While the first one is a great shot of the current castle, the second brings to mind what an antique photo would look like. Artistically I prefer the second.
I like the pics, but could you have used a split neutral density filter and a polarizer? maybe you did, but seems like it would work better if the sky was more saturated for more contrast.
