Thanks Adrian. I did a low saturation version too that I quite liked, but the 'grain' on this and the cold, untinted B+W was more powerful, and reminded me of darkroom days many years ago... Bruce

I really enjoy the comp and pp here Bruce - the grain seems to help anchor the gargoyle. Thanks, Adrian

yes, they were rerplaced in the 70s i think. I don't know how it got there, ut presumably it's through a connection with the sheldonian. I have five uprights from when they renovated Magdalen Bridge, in my garden. i often wonder how much I'd get for them on the American ebay. Flick.

Thanks very much Flick. It's hard to walk past them, but Charlie's theme helped me look i a different way that day. No, I didn't know that! How did it get there?! Were they replaced then? Bruce

One of the best shots I've seen of the Sheldonian heads - better than I've ever managed. Did you know one of the old ones is halfway up a palm tree in a North Oxford garden? Flick.

Thanks guys. I just used the red channel as that had the best contrast front to back, and I blasted contrast up a bit more. The grain got exaggerated as a result. Still learning to use my 50-200 fully wide - it's a great lens, Bruce

Very well composed shot, I like the quality here and the touch of grain.

Perfect DOF and a very well balanced shot!

I really enjoy this as well.........really good use of DOF to isolate fron from back.
