Nice job. Looks like an interesting place. I really like the angle you chose in #3, the colors are also nice and vibrant

Quick question...did you use a polarizing filter on this?

 

[Canoncan]

Nice shots. Sometimes the history adds to a shot, I would not take it as boring. Maybe Tom Jones was born there.

 

[Ghoste]

Yes there is alot of history to that place. That's where hansel and gretel went.

No amanda i did'nt use a polorising filter, i just tweeked the contrast a little in ps.

thanks canoncan and ghoste! actually there is a very funny story behind it! it was built in 1475 by two outlaw brothers, they were told that if they could build a rough house overnight and have smoke coming from the chimney by dawn they could claim the freehold land,and the boundary was extended by throwing an axe from each corner of the building, and where it landed that was the boundary.

Far from ugly in my opinion.
Very cool lookin place. I like Wales; very interesting place.
Nice shots, nice saturation.

 

[Canoncan]

The story of course made me go back and revisit the photos again. Thanks, again great shots.
