Barry Knap Park

2 from the Knap, local to me. Boys were in holiday school club for the morning so we made the most of it and went for a wander!

Mono: Removed the small fountain in the water and waited for someone to get into the space at the top of the steps.

I really like both of these, but I think the contrast between the green and blue is really effective - so the colour version by a nod.

Could you clone out the fountain on the colour version?

Definitely a scene that would be a sin not to shoot! I like the asymmetry of the benches, some are missing from the provided spots...

Thanks both! Will have to remove the fountain in the colour also. Not sure why there are benches missing but you're quite right. Most probably vandalism

I did a crop of it to remove that lower bench out:

Thanks Tim, certainly a marmite thing - leave them in or take them out!!

Bench in. I sat looking at the B&W one for a while. It's very peaceful

Thanks David

It's weird how the crop effects the picture and transforms in! The more I look at it the more I prefer the bench in also.
