St. Mary's in Autumn

I've shown you St. Mary's Church, Arnold in the Summer, in the Snow, in the Spring and I've even shown you me as father of the bride, walking my daughter Kirsty up the path on her Wedding Day.

I don't think you've seen St. Mary's in the Autumn.

Some faffing around of sliders and buttons in GIMP as I used 'Auto levels' / Dynamic Range Adjustments / Contrast Adjustments and a bit of 'heal selection to remove a couple of street lights from the left hand side.

This is the net effect. Maybe a bit OTT on the Dynamic Range, but I think it makes for pleasing shot. Probably best viewed large on black.

Beautiful tree, lovely compos2

[Judith Johnson]

This is lovely. A really balanced composition.

[Allison Williams]

It is beautiful. The mellow stone and the vibrant foliage is a pleasing combination. A fav.

[Pat Knowles]

No we have never seen this church in the autumn...lovely in the spring & specially on wedding days but beautiful in the autumn too.

i like your processing - now I must hunt for the other views

[Gena Pegg]

Outstanding comp and processing..what a lovely combination of color and texture. Love how the steps lead you into the image.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Beautiful on black. The red flowers next to the steps on the right hand side more visible. Thanks for sharing and fav.

A fine looking church.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot and composition. Fav. I have seen many churches in the UK with this kind of architecture. Probably they all come from the same era.
