Photographer’s Note

York Minster, dates back to 627. It started life as a wooden building which was later rebuilt in stone. In 670 it was re-built again by St Wilfred but in 741 it burned down and was replaced with a glorious new Minster with no less than 30 alters. In recent years it underwent some restoration after a fire destroyed many areas including the rose window.

This photo was taken whilst walking the walls of York. The walk is around 5 miles but most of the walls still exist. Visit York and walk the walls to see parts not usually encountered by the tourist.

Hey Denise!
This is a very nice presentation of the York Minster, taking with good perspective of the people walking along the ancient wall and the surrounding buildings. I found the wall element a distraction which didn't added to the composition (IMHO). The color, the lighting, the clouds with their gradual darkening - it's all great, but the composition needs to be tighter...in the accompanying WS I cropped the wall as well as the modern building's side and left the ancient and classic architecture. Even so, well seen!

Hi,
This is good 'busy' picture and a fine view of the Minster rising from the town. I would agree with the posted workshop, giving a tighter view, and concentrated more on the points of interest. Good note. Thanks.
Dougie.
