Description From wikipedia

The Castle in Malbork (Polish: Zamek w Malborku, German: Marienburg) is the largest castle in the world by area.[1] It was built in Prussia by the Teutonic Knights, a German Roman Catholic religious order of crusaders, in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The Order named it Marienburg (Mary's Castle). The town which grew around it was also named Marienburg.
The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress, and on its completion in 1406 was the world's largest brick Gothic castle.[2] UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and its Museum as the World Heritage Site in December 1997.[3] It is one of two World Heritage Sites in the region with origins in the Teutonic Order. The other is the "Medieval Town of ToruΕ„", founded in 1231 as the site of the castle Thorn (ToruΕ„).

yeah your right about the over exposure, I will fix that !

I am more of a sky person, most of my shots have a lot of blue skies! love them!

but here is an alternate shot, with more water but missing a portion of the structure [link]

try next time more shots (no problem from hand), then puzzle them together in Autopano for example. Its very easy.
So U can have all from castle and vessel in foreground. That vessel is perfect addon to shot! It makes composition interesting.
And try shot horizontaly - sky with different exposure (underexposure) and bottom brighter..

Thanks, it was such a beautiful spot! just looking out of the windows and seeing the hills nearby completely covered in forest was amazing!

Living in Jordan makes me appreciate green even more, considering its all grey for about 10 months of the year here
