Photographer’s Note

Dove Cottage was home to the Romantic poet William Wordsworth (1770-1850) and his family for 8½ years (1799-1808). Here Wordsworth wrote many of his most famous poems. There are many ideas associated with ‘Romantic’ poetry, but one of the most important for Wordsworth was to show the link between human experience and the natural world.

Nice composition with the path leading the eye into to picture. The colours look really natural, not over saturated. The only problem is the burnt out sky.

Hi Geof !
A very beautiful composition. POV, DOF, details, colors, and framing all top-notch. TFS. Congratulations...

Wow. Reading his poetry, I always imagined fields of vibrant green, and this confirms it. Excellent composition with the path leading across the photo to the house, which is offset by the shack on the bottom right. I think this photo would make the perfect jigsaw puzzle!

A very nice picture, but of Rydal Mount, Wordsowrth's last home, I think. Dove Cottage is in a less scenic location, a former tavern along the road in Grasmere.

Hi Geof,
I opened your account to see if there was something new. This happened to be one of your randomly displayed photos and I immediately liked it. It is quite a time since you posted it. The saturated green colour here is in fine harmony with the white house. The path leading up to the house is balancing the composition.
Regards
Gunnar
