A few pics from while I was away
#1

We went to a local church in a village called Hanbury one very sunny evening a few weeks ago. The church is perched right on the top of a hill with views for miles around. Here are three pics I took that evening.

The church, lit by the evening sun:

The view to one side of the churchyard:

I coudn't say which one is my favorite. All of them have something I like. The light in #1 is great, and how it illuminates the chuch and the headstone. The composition and colors in #2 and 3 are splendid. Beautiful pictures NN. Smile

Nice pic with #1, NN. I can appreciate the architecture and construction of the church, and there is enough subject matter in the foreground to keep things interesting. Big Grin

Lovely shots of a lovely scenery, NN! Postcard pictures, really. This evening light is really something. I often find it difficult to time these evening shots, often I shoot to late and then everything has a red color cast. Well done!

Seeing these pictures, I think we really have to go to UK at least for a few days. Can you believe we've never been there? It's a shame with Ryan Air flying for the price of a bus fare. Smile

Smile Thanks all, for your comments, which are greatly appreciated. I see what you mean Peto, regarding the alternative crop for no.3........interesting variant.

Guerito & Irma...If you do ever come to the UK and visit the Midlands (where we are), you must let us know as we'd love to meet up with you and show you around some of the places off the normal tourist track (and some of the better known ones).

Sorry NN but I do realize that you already have the people in a rules of thirds compisition. I was just thinking a little more into the rule. Just a touch. Smile
