Photographer's Note
The Tudor Village at Hever Castle was built in the first part of the 19th century as guest rooms. It is now used a conference centre.
Some information about the Village from the castle's official web site:
“William Waldorf Astor acquired Hever Castle in 1903. He restored the 13th Century moated Castle and added the unique Tudor Village before creating a 35 acre lake and spectacular Italian Gardens.
The Tudor Village was designed by architect, Frank Loughborough Pearson, to appear from the exterior as though it were a collection of Tudor cottages. His brief was to create a splendid country house extension to the castle to accommodate the Astor family and guests. It was built in Tudor style with all the rooms linked internally by corridors.
There are twenty individually designed luxurious bedrooms with lavish amounts of oak panelling in truly unique surroundings. There is the possibility of dining in the Dining Hall of Hever Castle, which is steeped in history, and is able to cater for up to 40 guests, or alternatively the Tudor Suite Dining Hall, able to cater for up to 64.”

Hi Stephen. Read a lot about Tudors but never seen such village. Grateful for sharing this. The shot is well composed but was wondering whether a bit of sharpness could be effected. Not sure. But still, the shot conveys the message. Regards.

Hi Stephen,
Those repeated gables make this a fine and quite unusual picture. Also fine reflections in the water.

Stephen,
I like the repeating pattern of the eves throughout the shot. The angle of the photo is nice giving the shot nice depth and direction. The photo seems a little to bright for my taste, maybe a polarizing filter would have helped here.
Still a very nice photo with good color and sharpness.
TFS,

Hello Stephen,
Splendid architecture picture, an style to my hart.
This is a of inestimable value in a village but not through everyone to bear the cost of.
Great picture with nice perspective and good details too. I like this splendid work.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Stephen,
A nice half timbered architecture that makes me think of Normandy, that I know as good as Kent, which doesn't mean much ;-)
Looks a bit overexposed on the top, if you have a RAW file you could get it back under control with the most modern versions of the softwares I think.
Have a nice day JY

Hello Stephen,
this half-timbered arrangement of several house parts is very nice as it is not huge because of the impression that there are several single buildings, not one bigger. Good POV to present us this village. Good details from the architecture.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Bonjour Stephen,
Elles sont très belles ces constructions à colombages et parfaitement équilibrées. J'aime leur disposition graduelle. Ton cadrage est bien choisi pour les valoriser. Très beau travail.
Bonne journée

What a wonderful little "village" I bet it costs an arm and a leg to stay there. I hope you don't mind I did a WS to tackle the slight over-exposure of the top half. See what you think.

Hi Stephen,
Wonderful prespective that has this series of roofs and chimneys unfold in a very pleasing pattern. Excellent details to the lovely Tudor design that is seen making a beautiful reflection in the placid waters surrounding this fine composition.

A nice - but slightly clinical attempt at building a Tudor-style village.
Yours is a lovely photo, full of character - though I'm not convinced by Astor's idea of turning it into an Italianate water-garden!
Beautiful colours, textures and reflections in late summer.
Nice work. Paul.

Tell you what, you don't half get about Stephen! Like this. Interesting note of the fine building come conference centre. I suppose to someone living outside of the uk would see this kind of building as really interesting, it's just that it's a woods and trees thing for me. Probably don't appreciate these buildings enough.

Bonnour Stephen,
Très agréable restitution, riche en détails architecturaux, de village sur laquelle il me semble tout de même y avoir un peu de surexposition dans le haut de l'image.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.
