2 more of the Shelley-esque Woodchester mansion(see below in the "Woodchester mansion" post.)
For those interested(and aren't you all), this stunning building was never finished. It's lain in decrepitude for over 100 years until now, whereupon it's slowly being restored. The opinion is, that it is such a flight of fancy, that it may never be so...which does add to its uniqueness.
As I'm sure you're riveted by now, these are again given the lurching treatment with the 10-22; the girl(Baz, the mason's daughter as per the high key portrait in the snapshot section) just adds that air of gothick mysterie.

I looked before and I liked them especially the first. Now I see it is in B&W which I never noticed before.

Thx nt, but you'll also notice it's a different shot.

Wow, the addition of the girl really adds a new (spooky?) dimension to the photos... almost looks haunted!

But yeah, I like the first one very much - lovely tones and textures, a great mixture of dark and light... nice!

great job on #1 Zig, #2 again great perspective but again I think this size does not do the shot justice.

Using the model was a touch of genius. It brings the photos out of the ordinary.

Thank you for the comments(I knew you'd like the touch of mood here Don)

I completely agree with Don here. The positioning and pose of the model really takes #1 from being a lovely shot of a nice interior and turns it into a photo with depth, that has some unknown story behind it.
The proportions are spot-on and the door frames the model perfectly and draws the viewer towards her, otherwise she'd be quite inconspicuous being so small.
And the building itself sounds and looks very interesting too.

Fantastic shots Zig (esp #1). Good to see you out poking your nose into interesting places. hehe
