Your photo seemed a little flat. To give it depth I laid a copy over it in PS. I increased the contrast by 10% and the saturation by 10%. Seeking to preserve the delicacy of your colors but wishing to accentuate the foreground grasses and the depth of the hills, using a feathered brush I removed part of the new layer. Then I merged the two layers to produce this.

Just a toned version of "Is This Love?"

I used the burn tool to darken the trees in the foreground. This gives more emphasis to the castle. I also darkened the part of the castle in front of the dark clouds, because it looked unnaturally bright there.

Then I used the dodge tool to brighten the right side of the castle's main tower. I also brightened the sky in the brightest area of the clouds, and behind the very top of the tower.

I hope you like it!

I used the clone tool to duplicate the dark color of the bushes, and cover the light part in the background. This was to eliminate the distraction of the background, but it ended up also giving the photo a much darker mood. I hope you like it!

Just other view of the place.

Used the Dark and lught tones function to adjust the shadow part that was too dark.
Used hue adjustment to descrease color saturation.
Added some sharpness.
Hope you will like the result.
