i can see why this beautiful building appealed to you Peter.. that glancing light really brings out some of the textures in the stonework, really well. i like the inclusion of the beds, they place it in it's environment very nicely.. lovely long shadows too..
Thank you for your wonderful comments Jorlam, I do seem to return again and again to this magnificent building and park, I had to play in Photoshop to bring back some detail in the shadows created by the harsh sunlight:)
@stray_shooter Thanks Ron for your comments the statement SOOC refers to the image as you see it, but I did lighten the detail in the shadows a touch in Photoshop:)
