Here are my final 10 pictures for this Monochrome Assignment.

ISO  400  f13   1/320


These two images, above Hoglands, Henry Moores House, and below the pub, have looked unchanged for years.

ISO 400   f11  1/250

ISO 200  f5.6   1/125

This piece is called 'Knife Edge', the bench gives a sense of scale.  And below is a different view of the same sculpture and I have caught two visitors through the gap.

THE ABOVE PICTURE IS NOW CHANGED TO :

ISO 200    f5.6    1/400

I initially liked this picture because its slightly unusual, but it was for that reason also that I held back a bit.


This is called 'Hill Arches' and it is a very smooth sculpture and actually a lovely green colour, you can just see the different shadings.

ISO 200  f5.6  1/250

Work on the grounds continue to keep it looking in top condition.  It seemed strange to me that the sculptures were just dotted around, you need to look twice to see this one. 'Figure in a Shelter'.

ISO 200  f5.6   1/200

THE ABOVE PICTURE IS NOW CHANGED TO :

ISO 200  f5.6    1/200

This is still called a Figure in a Shelter, this sculpture has lovely shapes and is beautifully smooth, surrounded by differing vegetation.




This is one of my favourites, just because of the way the light catches it.  It is called 'Mother & Child'. Its beautiful and very tactile.  The highlights are lovely.

ISO 200 f5.6  1/60


I love this hill top sculpture.  The sky is just interesting enough although ideally for this I would have like the sky to have been blue - and stunning.  Also ideally I would have liked a sheep in the foreground looking toward the camera.    Large Reclining Figure.

ISO 200  f14   1/320


I love the way the sheep are in with the sculptures, here they are all nestled under the 'Sheep Piece'
and here I am grateful for the sheep in the foreground.

ISO 200  f14  1/160

THE ABOVE PICTURE IS NOW CHANGED TO :

IMG 7361

ISO  400  f 8.0  1/400

Although I liked the dominance of the sheep in the first picture I can see now that you don't know which one to look at first.  This one here is better composition still showing the sculpture and sheep together but all sits a bit more comfortably.






The gardens are very interesting and you find sculpture hidden everywhere, here through the gate you can see 'Upright Motive'..
