    Dartington Hall, Devon

    A lovely place, though quite busy since it was half-term - a bit of patience paid off though and gave me this view through the gatehouse to the main building

    Nicely exposed image John, for me if you cut the foreground up to the walls, it would be a stronger image.

      Thanks for looking and your suggested edit Tom - I had left the foreground in because I liked the lead in of the cobbles running between the flagstones.

      However, I am always open to suggestion, so here is a cropped version - I think your suggestion works.

        I do prefer the second edit John, but I would have lost that sign, but its a nice shot well processed

          I had already lost another sign and a traffic cone, so I left the remaining one - but you are probably right, it ought to go......

            John ............ were you aware that we sent a PM to each other, excluding you?

            We were individually going to suggest a very small amendment and see how many times you would comply. I am snitching on the others because I have already lost the sweepstake!

                  Very nice, John, and the 3rd is lovely. I see why you initially left the foreground in. If it hadn't been for the puddles, which held your eye back from being led in, I think it would have worked.

                          The crop works well improving an already good shot

                          I know Dartington Hall well as it's fairly near me and over the years have attended dinners, concerts, talks, films and held meetings and courses there. It's a very photogenic building with some lovely gardens to explore.

                          Cheers,
                          John

                            Thanks John - I did not have time to wander around the gardens - the SDR called! There should be further chances to visit since SWMBO's professional society (the Society for Radiation Protection) has its offices there and so she is likely to have meetings there in the future.

                              Definitely better sans the blue sign! Pretty shot!
