Hey Dan,
I really like the overall architecture of this one, also the landscaping it sits on. One suggestion I would make is to actually take away the spit of land that runs up the right hand side of this photo:

With that land there, it makes you wonder why they put the entrance where they did, with the need to build the two little bridges for the road to cross. Instead they could have put the main entrance over on the right and run the road across that spit (unless it is covered at high tide?). Also if you remove that spit the castle is more easily defended.

Hi Dan,
That is very nice work. The terrain could use a bit more greenery and perhaps a bit of brown to offset all that dark gray. The shape of the terrain is excellent and the trees are very organic looking. The two bridges and the rock connection between the two towers looks great. I like the asymmetrical shape of the castle and the taller
crennelations really add to the fortified are is the structure. I like the enclosed staircase at the rear of the castle as well. Is the interior accessible? If it isn't that would be my recommendation for improving your MOCs in the future. Outside of that it certainly outshines any of the castles I have built.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Hi everyone, thanks for your comments.
Thank you Benjamin for your terrain suggestions, it definately would look better with light gray plates.
Thank you Bruce, I actually the first version of my MOC did not include that piece of land, it was a one way river with no dead end, it is weird cause I added that land later just to get rid of the left over dark gray bricks. So thank you for that comment, it is apreciated.
Thank you Forester for the camera praise.
Thank you Will for your comments, The dungeon is actually accessible, only that I lacked the tile pieces to make it open up nicely, so I usually just leave the prisoners locked up good.
Thanks again to everyone who posted on my MOC set. I am currently almost completing my new MOC, which is a falcon keep built on a raised rock mountain on the ocean. I will be posting these soon. Thanks again everyone.
