Perfect blend author and very lovable entry...I am glad u'r back....best of luck man

Castle needs a reflection, light sources conflict...otherwise, good image.

Castle reflection would be parallel to the tower, much like the rock reflection in the source pic. Also, the light on the bird is from the right, light on castle from left.

Just Ctrl J on castle layer- flip vertically move it down and either distort it with ripple or use displacement map to make the reflection fit the waves.

the cropping on the bird can be a little better. you can see white under the wings under the tail and between the beak and body. otherwise nice image

Great combo of images.

Sorry I am late with this suggestion:
Chops could be a little smoother/cleaner (try layer masks and then smudge edge gently to remove left over pixels from original image ... as the white around the bird. It also helps correct hard edges).

Beautiful
