Chesterton but not a Windmill - Warwickshire

[MWHCVT]

Most photo's that are posted from this little corner of Warwickshire will feature the Windmill I've done it plenty of times myself but this evening I went into the village as I wanted to take a photo of the wonderful old church that is just on the outskirts of the Village..It's hard to call it a village it's little more than a few houses but still it has two fine examples of great British buildings

Trying to get a little creative with the colours

Thank you, it's a great location I like the way the stream, not that you can see any water leads you into the photo and church

I actually prefer the 2nd to be honest, think the conversion and portrait crop works really well

Out of these two personally I'm going for the 2nd too but neither of these made it as my POTD

Nice matt like them both, nice lead in with the stream/gully thingy, not really keen on the greens in the first, mid right side field of the tree on my monitor, think Id crop a little off the top of the 2nd just to the lighter top cloud if that make sense

Thanks Dave, that's exactly the reason I liked this angle with the stream now if only you could see water :bang: I will be going back there, that green is the reason this one didn't make it to my POTD I preferred the greens in the one I picked out but that crop really quite a funky colour, admittedly not a funky as this edit has made it

To be honest Matt it doesnt need the water, leads in good to the bush and the castle above, the diagonal of the clouds send my eye back round, the bigger bush makes a nice stopper

Indeed it works really well from a composition PoV but I still think water would be the crowning glory on the location and that castle be a church though it has a lot of castleations

Thanks for the heads up, I may take you up on the offer depending on what I'm upto, I do a lot of beating for local shoots and I think that's the last weeekend of the shooting season.

I believe it may well be but not to worry we have regular meets in fact I'm just getting the start of the February thread sorted and then we can start planning that
