Dovecote at Rivington

[Ryewolf]

A bit of a twiddle using Topaz Studies and Redfield Fine Touch and Nik Silver Efex. Taken way back in July 2014 when I first got my digital camera.

Prefer the colour version Rye.  This is one of the more interesting depictions of a much photographed building.  Usually seen as an unremarkable record but this version adds that bit extra.

Thanks John, I suppose for people who know the area it probably is much photographed. I thought I would try something a little different with the processing.

[Guest]

You succeeded.

I have pictures from almost the exact same position.

you know I'm not into editing, quite like this though....

[FUJI]

Love these....

They remind me of an illustration from a Fairy Tale.....

Y’know....the one about Rumple Stiltskin, who hung his hair out of the top window, as he lay on a dozen mattresses with a single pea underneath...

Thanks Leon, it's a fairly classic shot from here, it helps if you have some big clouds in the background.

Thanks FUJI, I think you're getting your fairy tales mixed up: the one with the pea was called The Princess and the Pea, Rapunzel was the girl who lived in the tower with long hair and Rumplestiltskin was the one who spun straw into gold.

The Tower was built in 1910 by Lord Leverhulme as part of his extensive Rivington estate. He also had built a scale replica of the ruins of Liverpool Castle.

Lovely subject Rye and you have achieved some nice effects - slightly prefer the colour version, but both nice.

Colour version for me - very nicely done!

Cant get over the fact that it is a lot bigger than my house and is only a Dovecote !

Thanks Kobione, Korky and Denis.
