Great job man! I especially like the pathway and the waterfall. The colors you used in the pathway are very creative!

awesome job! Superb foliage, and waterfall! Great job!

great job! the rocks are stunning.

holy amazingly awesome! you did a great job on the castle, and even better on the rocky wall section of the build! way cool!

vary good

The rocks... they're tilted... *gasp* Me being a huge fan of rockwork (and a Christian), you are one of the builders I hold in the highest esteem on MOCpages. Great work, just stunning.

Nice cliff-side castle, the trees and shrubbery really give this a very natural look. Cool portcullis, too. - Huss Q.

Thanks a ton everyone! :D I really appreciate all the nice comments! Sure! Feel free to do that! So glad you like it! :)

Hey, Mark. I've been by several times since I commented to look at this masterpiece. I still think that this may be my favorite work by you. I would like to feature this in the future on my Pick of the Week on my page. Would I have your permission to do that?

Beautiful Job !!>.....well done

Glorious build Mark!

Amazing build Mark! Everything looks great! I especially like the foliage and the rocks. The seawater coming out of the hole looks great! 5-5 --John

Haha, just a couple of days ago I was looking at the first version of this on Flickr thinking how great this was, It’s funny how just a couple of days later you made a newer and much more impressive version. :) Anyway... Mark, this is incredible. The cliffside is huge, and to top it off, you've made it perfectly. Phenomenal job!

Great upgrade. This is an amazing moc. I love the angle of the castle; too many are simple squares. The rockwork far exceeds mine but that's not saying much as I use mountain pieces lol. Nice colors for the waterfall area.

great job! it's full of detail, and i think that the big rockwork is fantastic!

This is fantastic. I like the way you build the sea wave and the waterfall. Also, many kind of plants are there.

I especially love the drainage feature, but I'm a bit worried about what is actually coming out of that pipe! :)

Impressive!! The landscaping is all very convincing, especially that angled corner. I like how you didn't over-texture/embellish the castle. Those stretches of smooth stone wall contrast with the foliage quite well. Good luck in the contest!

Amazing! Phenomenal details!

This is an amazing and well-build castle, as always! Keep up the awesomeness!

wowo, excellent build! I love the section on the left were its on a slope! excellent!

Beautiful landscaping, and the scale of the structure fits perfectly.

The offset bricks in the rock work to capture the geological movement of rock strata is amazing.

Wow! This is amazing! I especially like the way you've done the sea!

Fantastic work, the overgrown landscape really makes the castle stand out. Best of luck in the CCCX, at least in whatever categories we're not both competing in. ;)

Great build!

beautiful done! the waterfall in your technic looks great!

Better than the first one ; ) Best of luck for the contest.

For as long as I live, I will never be able to build as good as you, my friend. This is over the top of gorgeous!

Landscape is gorgeus!!!

Best waterfall I've seen so far! breathtaking job as usual!

I like the castle, with its triangualr courtyard but the thing that stands out to me is the wonderful work on the trees and cliffs and water. I like the diagonal panels on either side of the cliff, which add some extra, subtle angles. The waterfall works very well, with the lines in the bricks giving the direction of the flow. The only downside of the waterfall is that I would suspect that it is also the sewer for the castle! :) The random bricks and colour grading in the sea are very well done indeed. I think that you've achieved just the right texture here. Falworth Keep is up on that big, grey cliff: what is underneath it in the dungeons?

Very nice! I love all of the trees! Great job, it looks fantastic! --Blast--

Absolutley Amazing! Great detail

Wow, amazing! I love the details

Outstanding! Simply outstanding!

That waterfall is awesome.

Great work! The castle is very cool, and the angled slopes on the cliff face are spectacular.

Wow amazing build!!5/5

How you manage to play in the MOs and then intermittently turn out masterpieces like this one here, is beyond me. Another excellent build Mark!

Majestic! (Need I say more?) ;) -LB Senior

Whhaaa???? It was only like 24 hours ago that the CCC opened, and you've built for it already? Legend. Awesome build Mark, as per usual!

This is wonderful, Mark. This may be my favorite work by you yet. I'm not normally a fan of spilling bricks to create water. But you have a knack for the technique. I like the separation of the colors, giving a very convincing illusion of water. And the bricks creates a certain "choppiness" to the water that works well. The rock work is some of the best I have seen, which is a conclusion that I reached when I saw that you used the dark bley pieces near the bottom to give the illusion of wet rock from the waves crashing against it. Brilliant touch. Your castle is, as always, fantastic. And, what I consider you specialty, the greenery is masterful. Very well done.

Good work, i like the tree's with the vegetation around the wall's and at the rocks.

Wow Mark! That is totally amazing! :D Although, I thought that the admins said that you can not start building UNTIL today.....
