I like the dark side of this image very much. A castle should be moody and grim. As swan said, the only thing missing is the maiden with the blowing hair - or perhaps a horse troop on the bridge going out for a raid. I like the timeless aspect of what you did.

Thanks for the comments, Piet. I think I'm ready to concede that "moody and grim" wins out over picturesque :-) . I think I'm familiar with the idea that castles were about more than bloody conflicts, and more went on within than plotting the next skirmish, so I see more than the dark past that we hear about so much in the history books. But the dark stuff was a reality and deserves its place in our recollections.

This is one of the shots I got from the other side and I haven't even tried to pretty it up. The tide was out and there's a generous amount of seaweed to be seen, but this isn't about making it picturesque.
