[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Burford is a busy, vibrant town which lies in the valley of the River Windrush in West Oxfordshire. Burford is known as the "Gateway to the Cotswolds",the town which is the "cream" of all the north Cotswold towns. Burford is the designer shoppers paradise, where visitors can browse many unique shops along the main street.
This region has the most ghost sightings in all of England. I suggest that if you ever visit Burford you check out Bill Spectre's Ghost Trails .

PS - The only thing I changed in this photo was the sky.

In my WS, you can see a similar shot with different sky .

Hello Liliana,

this is a very beautiful building ! To be honoust, I don't like that sky so much, but the rest of the photo makes all good. Maybe an idea to post the original shot in workshop ? Anyway, an attractive shot !

best regards,

Luc.

Superb image Liliana, the sky could have been blended a little better, but it works with the witch theme very well.

TFS, Gary

Servus Lili,

Foarte frumoasa creatia ta, se potriveste foarte bine cerul acesta aici, parca dintr-o clipa in alta trebuie sa apara

Hello Lili
Very cool idea to change out the sky.. it really give it a spooky feel! Looks like a wonderful place.. well except for that spooky sky!.. nice details and colors... :)

Tricia

Oh, this is so nice Liliana and the mood is really well achieved.
The tone of the sky is very well coordinated with the tone of the bricks of the building.
What a nice plase, the tables, the chairs, and the wet pavement!
I like it! Great light too.

Very well done! Yan :)
ps: and many thx for the kind words in : "Dedicated to TL Friends!". I am very pleased that you like it.

Hi Liliana,
It sure does look like a witches' spot for a gathering. Spooky. Superb sharpness, details, and texture. A fantasy like sky atmosphere. Best regards, Danilo

Hi Lili :)

Very dramatic shot ! Lovely sky and perfect sharpness on pub ! Excellent work my dear friend :)
Excellent note too !

Hi Lili, Excellent work, sharp details, contrast and colours are beautifully done. Light looks great I like the effect on the sky, looks very eery. TFS best rgds, Necip

Hi Lili...this is a fantastic shot...the lighting seems almost like HDR and the clarity if very well done...this is a very nice composition. Congratulations.

Roger

Hi Liliana
Dramatic and surreal effect created for sure with the sky. Even if you left the building untouched is does have the look for the "witches gathering". Well done for a great presentation.

Paul

Hi Lili,

Interesting picture . . Fine detail and very well composed . .
Is it the place for Harry Potter and his friends? . . ha ha ha . .
Beautifully presented . .
Well done my dear friend ..

Many thanks for your kind words on I have nuts .

What beautiful light Lili. Well composed, good colour and excellent detail. TFS,

Many thanks for your comment on ‘RED Bottlebrush’

Ideea e foarta faina, cladirea e tare misto prinsa si-mi plac si culorile da' sa stii ca cerul se vede ca e pus acolo. Cred ca e prea brusca trecerea intre "sharpul" cladirii si "softul" cerului. As fi vrut sa ma pacalesti mai bine, ca sa zic asa


toate bune,
v

atmosfere so caracteristic.. england mood is full here! nice pov.. full of details.. the changed sky creates a good framing.. it's ok!! i like colors and light u have captured!! well done!
ciao Marco

Great work Lili,

Hi Lili, (I did it again didn't I ;-)
I like the way you changed the sky, it makes this an nice dramatic picture. The pub is very well captured, perfect sharp with nice details and the orange shining light onthe name is a striking detail. Superb posting my dear.
Hans

Cielo da dramma con i colori che si intonano perfettamente a quelli della casa, sono certo che li abita la famiglia Addams...
Superba composizione Lili, BRAVISSIMA, ciao Silvio

Hi Lili, good work in replacing the sky. Goes along with your title very well. The building itself is beautiful and well captured. Looks like it was taken just coming dark? Nice shooting Lili.

Best regards,
Lyndon

Good evening Liliana
Beautiful sharp capture of the old building that must have a lor to tell. You artistically created that witchy mood with that ocre sky that match the colors in the stones. Very nic point of view. I love it

Well the change in the sky certainly added to your title :-) I can see the withches liking to gather at this beautiful spot. Althought the altered sky fits in very well with the title I think I would also like to see the original image and can imagine green trees and a blue sky in the background...

Hi Lili,

We have been staying in a very old inn in Burford, not knowing that there would be ghosts visiting the endless corridors and lurking around those hundred corners. I for one had a good nights sleep, but now I understand why the children did not sleep at all.
You did a great job here.

Ciao Lili,
incadrare si prelucrare faina. Bravo.

Hello Liliana!

Catching up after a long period of inactivity. Sorry for my long silence. I like the effect created with your altered sky . The effect is very spectacular. I am not sure if I would visit such places . Friendly ghosts do exists (^_^), but I am a bit scared of the nasty lones (^_*).

Great note and post .
Cheers!
Robert

Hello Liliana

Beautiful visual,
Great captures! Interesting details and composition,
Beautifull POV. I love your work for the sky.
I begin her and I thought to be in HDR, because I have been making many in HDR and gotten these effects. Did you use this like HDR to arrive in these beautiful colors?
Congratulations. wonderful visual the one of WS is fantastic!

Hi Liliana,

I have been away from TL for a while, but now that I came back, I think you have some really nice pics, and your talent has even broadened. Your pictures have always impressed me, but this one is really unique!
The colours and lighting create an erie mood in this one....
Well done (again) :)

Hi Lili,
I like the sharpness of the image with a bit of gothic dark color scheme to create a mysterious atmosphere. Good corner shot giving the image some depth and better perspective. Well captured and processed. Well done! tfs
