Gainsborough Old Hall-on the tower(Two c, a photo from Lincolnshire, England

Photographer's Note

In searching for the "Grey Lady", I climbed up to the tower. Instead of seeing the ghost, I saw two Chimneys...I'll upload the Room to the tower and Another view on the tower on Workshop for you to have a look as well. Thanks for looking.

Hello Jasmine,
A very interesting study in black and white. The composition is well done, using the chimneys to frame the church tower. Very good intense tones and excellent rendering of the textures offered by the brick chimneys. The clouds are useful for relieving the otherwise blank sky.

Hi Jasmine,
Monochrome captures the mood of this scene much more than color could.
You have created a really strong composition with great light, excellently framed in horizontal format. Well done.

Hello Jasmine,
The conversion to B&W was very successful. The contrasts are very good and areas that should be black are really black. The texture of the old bricks is well captured thanks to the good sharpness and the chimneys provide good frames to the view of the tower behind the trees.
Kind regards,
Gert
