I was just passing through Avebury on the way to Wales. Stopped for an hour to stretch my legs & had time to take a few photos

Richard, love the use of depth of field in #2/3 - and especially like #3 as the color version with the stones contrasted against the old thatched building

Also loving the sheep against the stone, great tonality in the B&W - was he scratching his leg?

 

[Paul Lange]

It is the last one for me with the sheep/lamb in it's funny pose. Looks like it sneaked around the back of the stone for a few lines of coke.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Fine shots, Richard. Love the dark tones, which seem very complementary.

 

[Brian Moore]

I think that sheep is snorting the lichens! Great shot. Also, like Chris said, the DOF in 2 and 3 (and in my opinion also 1) is cool.

I couldn't decide between b/w or colour on #2/3 which is why I have posted both.
The lamb spent ages rubbing himself against the stone...probably soaking up some of the cosmic force ;-) gave me good time to compose the shot

Haha....Yes...Just dusting his nose off

He even looks slightly ashamed of him self ... Must have not kicked in yet ... Ha!

On a slighty more serious note...Realy nice b&w toning to those shots

The sheep shot is a belter

Super shots of the stones there Richard and using a narrow depth of field really works especially with the pub shot. And I see what you mean about the B&W vs colour version. I think that in isolation I'd probably prefer the colour on for the additional contrast between the tones of the stone and the building / foliage. But, in sequence with the others, the B&W works very well. Nice any way.

Thanks Pete
