English Country Church

St Mary Magdelen Church at Upper Winchenden in the Vale of Aylesbury,

Buckinghamshire

I think this is nearly a very nice picture! Two comments though: you don't seem to have got the verticals quite straight, and on any architectural picture in this style I think this is crucial - it's only minor in this case, but it was the first thing I noticed. Secondly, I find the tree branches obscure the tower just a little too much - again, only minor, but a lower viewpoint would have reduced this (and may have improved the foreground a little too?). Hope this is useful, Mathias.

Hello Ian, I agree with Mathias on the subject of verticals, but I'm happy with the tree vignetting. I like the setting, but I can't help thinking the white stone gravestones are out of place. I'll bet they are relatively modern.

 

By the way, I had a look at your web site, I've been to the Rising Sun at Little Hampden two or three times. Nice pub.

 

Regards. Pete
