Salisbury Cathedral ~ 7 by seanoneill

Salisbury Cathedral ~ 7

Another view of the font at Salisbury Cathedral, this time looking towards the west entrance of the cathedral.

In this shot I have straightened the verticals, but will post the original shot in my second album, albeit with some subtle selective colouring.

My preference is for this version. PP 07/11/2013

In local news near us, a young 4 year old girl was savaged to death yesterday by her pet dog. My heart goes out to her and her parents. Rest in peace little one.
Super capture, Sean. I love the detail and the mono works so well. Fav

We have had dogs all our lives but these dreadful occurrences must remind us all that children should never be left with a dog. Such a tragedy. Of course, near us, two girls mowed down in the early hours of Sunday morning in Gosport. I probably taught their parents or grandparents. So sad. Neither family will ever fully recover.

@gooner46 Thanks Chris, I read about the girls in Gosport, and I had tears in my eyes when I read that one of the mothers kissed her daughter goodbye as she lay in the road. Heartbreaking.

Fantastic lines, Sean.

yes I heard about the little 4 year old. Devastating for the family. So very sad and unnecessary. :(

Truly inspirational image....that architectural detail of the entrance alone is superb...never been but I hope to one day!
Such a tragedy for the little girl & her mum.....that daughter was her whole world & she will never get over that.. What a massive dog that was ...I think all dogs of a certain type should never be re homed but put down with dignity...controversial but it has to start somewhere. Licences for dogs is a MUST too.

@happypat I agree Pat. It is so tragic and needless. Glad you like the shot.

I love the shot, but can't decide if that's water or a very shiny floor! Fabulous pov. By the way, Peter says you may be thinking of the bridge at Tempsford which also has lots of arches.

@busylady That's the one!!
November 6th, 2013  
@busylady It's water. The font at Salisbury has to be seen, it is a thing of beauty.
November 6th, 2013  
What a gorgeous capture and so well framed and processed. Egad re the young child. Horrible! That poor family!
November 6th, 2013  
Superb shot. Like this one better for its POV. Fav.
November 6th, 2013  
Challenging, fascinating, impressive image, Sean. That dog was so big! So sad.
November 6th, 2013  
Magnificent shot, I cannot decide which one I like better, this one or the one with selective coloring.
November 6th, 2013  
Mmm I can't make my mind up between the two. They are both very good, and its a brilliant pov.

Such a tragedy about the little girl, and your final words bought tears to my eyes. I'm afraid we regularly see big uncontrollable dogs being walked round here, and have even caught them attacking our sheep. I have to agree with Pat on this one, and even though i hate red tape, there does need to be some new legislation bought in on this.

I like this one Sean but actually prefer the other!
Have a look on page four of the 'latest discussions' thread "wiki loves monuments 2013" you could have been a prize winner!

@bluefirebucket I know, I saw it a few days ago and commented! Always the bridesmaid me!!

November 6th, 2013  
@fpg Yes, I straightened the verticals in Free Transform but other than that it is pretty much as I shot it.
November 6th, 2013  
fav. fabulous symmetry Sean
November 7th, 2013  
Superb POV, symmetry and perspective corrections. Absolutely love it. :-)
November 7th, 2013  
Stunning! So many architectural details to enjoy here. Love the symmetry and processing, too! FAV!
November 7th, 2013  
My heart goes out to the family, as well. Such a tragedy.

The stained glass in the reflection tops it off as a superb composition. Well done Sean.
November 7th, 2013  
Love the pov and the reflection which is pleasingly tantalizing re. the architecure.
November 7th, 2013  
Great lines and reflection!
November 7th, 2013
