Spent the day at Hever Castle, here are a few of my efforts, not sure the last two qualify, but they were part of the day. I welcome your feedback, many thanks for looking.

I find it strange that reinactors use such small horses.
It took a special breed of shires to cope with the weight. And became essential when it came to plate armour.

I find the buildings rather overcooked. but shows a nice brigt event...

Thank you, first two are single image HDR.

Thank you, first two are single image HDR.

That explains a lot these don't work for me in HDR, for me they look ideal for monochrome conversion.

The monos are good and I like the jousting images. Compositionally, they are spot on and the processing is a matter of taste
