"What's this? What's this?"

WWYD56 - -Sharon's original photo and competition rules are at http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/13008/wwyd56

It has been ages since I have posted a 'crazy' fantasy edit, and I really enjoyed preparing this one. I have tried to be true to the wwyd principle of making the image provided the 'star' while incorporating it into an edited image.
The use of texture here on the background only is probably 'breaking the rules' from an editing perspective, but I wanted to accent the fact that the castle is not actually the type used in the Tim Burton style.
