Syon House and some nice flowers

[johnaalex]

Syon House, the home of Duke of Northumberland, is in Isleworth, Middlesex between West London and Heathrow airport. The recent high winds and showers had taken their toll on the flowers and to be honest I thought the gardens looked a bit untidy, but I managed to get a few nice pictures:

First with the 50mm 1.4
1) The Main House

2) A flower bed

3) The Great Conservatory

4) The Great Conservatory taken with the 18-200VR at 18mm

The rest were taken suing my Sigma 150mm 2.8 Macro
5)

6)

7)

9)

10)

11)

12)

Cropped and tweaked in PSE 6.

Some very nice pictures there but is it me or is the fist one slightly on a slant?

Thanks Dazza I applied the rule of thirds as best I can to get a mix of colours.

Well, I straightened it using PSE6, perhaps the table you have your PC is on the wonk?
