OCOLOY Day 54: Early 18th C Manor House

This is an early 18th C Manor House in Beauvais, one of the six villages which, together with Paimpont village itself, form the commune of Paimpont.

This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my post for 1 January and in my profile. I'm also tagging this for B&W February

Great textures, composition

Another fabulous building, with so much detail

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Lovely composition and building but would prefer to see it in colour.

[Margo Sayer]

Like POV. B&W complements the detail. Reminds me...needs must do some pruning.

[David]

A rural idyll I thought.. until I spotted the fence! Very nice, Richard. I might have placed a higher contrast paper on the enlarger's base-board, of course! :-)

[Rachel Withey]

Great textures in this

[Joan Robillard]

I imagine those bushes on the right will soon be bursting with color. I can just imagine in days of old riding up to that manor and seeing the color. Such a welcoming sight.

[☠northy]

Lovely detail and dark tones

[Issi Bannerman]

What a great house with loads of character!

[Merrelyn]

Love the textures and detail on the house. The stonework is beautiful.

[Taffy]

Love all the textures -- b&w is so effective here.

[Tom]

Great textures, tonal balance and detail

[Jasper]

I'm going to offer what is may be a heresy.. whisper it quietly.. in Spring perhaps.. I'd like to see this in colour.
