I like it too. I wonder how it would have looked if you would have used so a 210 lens and/or a 240 lens to make the building just a bit more prominent.
I think I like this edge of the land/Camelot feel.
I love it as is.
Thanks,

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep"
Me too. Nicely framed, all too rare in lighthouse photography.
A couple from me coming up:
First, a victorian 'chapel of rest' in an Oxfordshire cemetery, built I believe in the 1860s.

Nikkor-SW 150 f/8
Ilford FP4+ 8x10
huge amount of front rise (perhaps 55mm)
1/15 f/22 (overexposed by at least a stop for some reason, don't what came over me! Epson scan recovered it fine.)

Second, an interior doorway in Great Coxwell Barn, a subject I must have posted images of here previously. A real wonder in wood.

Later in August I'm going to be beginning a contact-printing alternative processes adventure. (after a great deal of reading up, and in advance of many errors and problems no doubt). Wish me luck!
Nice work, I find cemetery images interesting, especially combined with Victorian themes and architecture.Originally Posted by DaveF
Is a "chapel of rest" a UK-term for a mausoleum, or is it a chapel used for committal services in the cemetery?
Very cool architecture--Ruskin via Nigel Tufnel, perhaps.
