Having taking a step from my comfort zone recently and attempted Architecture photography (admittedly a disaster), I found myself visiting Nostell Priory. The last time I was here was in 1987 when I worked at Nostell colliery.

Had a great afternoon out, and will definitely being going back

It is a lovely building, have been meaning to go myself for a while. Have been put of by the parking charges now, will have to get the bus I suppose. Like the shot though nice warm tones to the building.
 
:clap:very nice-I used to fish there as a boy - thanks for bringing back that memory

Only one small Critique, the people in front are a tad distracting- maybe a quick clone would enhance this image

Steve, know what you mean about the prices, luckily I am a NT member, but a few people had parked in the Spread Eagle pub car park and walked in. Think bus fare would probably be as much the parking.
Great place though.

Les, I used to fish there when I was working at Nostell Pit, and I mean whilst working (suppose that's why it shut lol).

Photoshop skills not brill, but agree. Will have a go and see what it comes out like.
Called in the Anglers at Wintersett also, lots of memories brought back to me.

I worked in South Kirkby Pit as a lad :LOL: Now a retired Game Keeper ( 60) living in Somerset

Used to fish Ryhill too - every Saturday

Good luck with the cloning - I may give it a go too :D

Had a quick and dirty clone session, not too bad if you don't zoom in to far.:)

Steve, that looks much better.
Will get my CS5 book out tonight and have a dabble.

If I were planning a trip, I'd wait for the rhododendrons.

Agreed, this was the first thing I noticed.

It does look much better with the people cloned out too.

Read up on CA, so hopefully the reshoot will address all the issues mentioned, agree with all comments, so thanks
