I drive past these everyday and today decided to pull over and grab a photo. Had to stand in the middle of the road on a blind bend so had to be quick but think it was worth it. Taken with a Sirius 28mm f2.8 wide angle lens that i got off Ebay for £36!

Lovely shot.

For me the vignetting works at the bottom but not the top.

I agree with Smeggy - it is a lovely shot. I like the undulations of the edge of the thatched roof and I think it looks good in B/W. I agree as well that the vignette looms a bit in the top of the image (especially the top left)

Yes looking at it I agree about the top half of the vignette as well now.
