Hi Rich,

This is a lovely picture because of the gorgeous light on the abbey and the other buildings. Just the sort of light you get as a storm is about to commence.

But, somehow, it's not quite right if you know what I mean - and that's probably why it hasn't received the acclaim it really deserves. The picture is very slightly tilted and could take about just a little under 1° of clockwise rotation - the rotation, to be fair, is more noticeable on the near building than on the abbey itself - and the slope of grassy hillside in the bottom right doesn't do the picture any favours though I can imagine that it was probably impossible to avoid. If this was taken from a car park, then you could have climbed on Casper's roof to take it - that might have helped!

So, beautiful light and excellent detail on the buildings, even at 400mm (!) but I think the bit of grass in the right foreground detracts from it.

Cheers,

John.

Hi Rich

The abbey always makes a dramatic sight. The effect is increased by the inclusion of the surroundings, a pity there isn't just a bit more light on the abbey itself, that would have made it perfect.
