Hello Silke. English style, and already so old. Actually one cannot suspect only from the reputation, for which the building was originally established. Here your informative text helps. The building was photographed with ideal light. It is besides outstanding composed. The flowers at the wall add still the detail beauty. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Silke,
These cottages and roofs are some of the details I remember from UK. Fine picture that reflects a key component of quintessential British countryside. Thank you for the concise, informative note, too. Regards,
Hakan

Hi Silke,
This old English priory is seen in stunning details and clear chrisp colors. I love the flowers clinging to the old stone and the worderful colors contrast on the roof. Forgive me I must leave for a spot of tea.

Hi Silke,
It's a pleasant countryside cottage and the light on its walls is fine. Composition wise I find it flat, it could well fit in a properties catalog but on TE some research of a more adventurous compo would be a benefit, it's however not always possible, don't know whether alternatives were available here.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Bonjour Silke
Autre maison autre style.L'image nous montre bien le caractère et la texture de cette architecture.Image nette et bien exposée mais un peu trop centrée à mon gout.

Hello Silke
Another different house style. The image shows well us the character and the texture of this architecture. Clear and quite exposed image but a little too centered with my taste. In a friendly way Gildas

Hi Silke,

Lovely ancient home ... I love the windows, the stone, and the enveloping greens .. I think I wish it was at a little angle to the frame instead of just straight on .. but I am not sure (not knowing what is around the corner) .. beautiful, "simple", thoughtful place.

take care,

John

The olde Englishe security alarm is a nice little detail on this beautiful old church. Honestly, I'm sure they could design one that's a bit less visually intrusive! Or hide it or something - then again it's probably intended as a visual deterrent.
Enough of my rambling. I like everything you've done here Silke - the side-on viewpoint, the space around the building and the overall balance of the framing. I just can't help feeling that it would have been better without that hedge in the way. It's a bit too much of a visual barrier - the eye comes to a dead stop at the hedge before it's able to explore the rest of the image.
Moving forward and shooting over the hedge, or even better, taking the photo from inside the churchyard itself, would have worked better I think. Maybe that wasn't possible with the lens that you were using, although I see that you weren't using it at the wide end, so you still had some zoom to play with.

Cheers,
Ben

Bonjour Sike, j'adore ce style de maison anglaise, avec sa cheminée et ses petites fenêtres. La clarté de l'image et des couleurs nous permet de bien visualiser les détails de la pierres. Bravo bien vu. ;)
