Hi Dawn,
Great composition of these three birds and the beautiful rural stone building. I think this black and white version has a special mood, I like this one better than the original one, but that one is a nice image, too.
Congratulations, TFS!
Greetings,
Kristof

hello Dawn,
A great shot of the English pastoral scene. The guinea fowl on the road are a nice touch.
I actually like the tones of the B/W.
Good composition and a very pleasing landscape scene.
TFS, Joni

Hi Dawn,

Was bringing your "big" camera with you too much/heavy?

Indeed I get the feeling that life has been standing still in places like this and that is what I love about the middle of nowhere - beautiul impression of the countryside.
Must say the original still has the same feel to it, despite being in colour.

I must admit that I prefer the one in the workshop -- that green is so restful!
Great PoV and composition.
Just one small niggle -- I really would have been tempted to clone out that great electrical pole :)

Hi Dawn

Nice capture. To me this feels like a classic quirky British scene - a nice sense of gentle humour about it. I always like it when pictures can capture a real sense of place, and this does that beautifully.

I think I prefer the b&w version, but I can't really put my finger on the reason.

Cheers.
John

very, very nice b&w image, on the clasic model of the prewar images.

This for me Dawn, the colours in the other seem a bit 'off'. Nicely composed and converted and the three feathered friends look like guinea fowl. A workshop if I may and TFS,

I prefer the b/w version - I think it adds to the tranquility and olde-worlde feel of the shot. The country road, the old stone farmhouse and the geese really do create a nice atmosphere - representative of that part of the world, i think.
