Nice set........#4 and #5 are the best I think..........looks like you have HDR'd them a touch or is it just post processing?
Really Nice set though.........

Yes there's HDR here, never had bracketing on my camera before so I gave it a whirl

Very nice Ma'am 
I'm thinking about visit there this week
Is the last shot St Mary's Studley Royal and is it open to the public all the time or restricted to certain times ?
It looks amazing from photos posted on the interweb.

The first could possibly do with a touch more contrast, but saying that I quite like it as it is!
Nice set altogether, I think I'd choose no. 3 as my fave.

#4 & #5 for me. Although I like the deers too.
Love how the processing has tunred out on #4. Nice angle on #5.
My kind of subject.

It's funny how people pick up different things - but for me No1 is the pick. Love the non-obvious low-contrast look. It reminds me of a pencil sketch I did back when I was an art student at Harrogate College. We visited Fountains Abbey a few times.

I'm intrigued by the first three, they look like drawings to me, was that intended and how did you get that look.

Mark. | I merged 3 exposures in Photoshop and then picked the white point as to what I thought looked best. Then converted to Mono.
I thought it showed off the stone work quite well. I was using a laptop for the photoshop so they might be a bit lighter than I thought they were.

As soon as I saw the first 3 I was wondering how great they would look HDR'd. I think it's because they are B/W that they are lacking something. Don't get me wrong, the first 3 are really great, but I wish they were in colour. The brickwork and concrete beams are crying out for some tone mapping. The first one could do with straightening out a bit as the slight angle is a bit off putting. Nice pictures, well done.
Mike
