Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal

A fantastic place for a day out if you're in or around Ripon, North Yorkshire. Even better if you are a National Trust member as it's expensive to get in if not.

Critique always welcomed, all shots are with the K-3, lenses are a mix of Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 DC HSM OS and Pentax DA*50-135.

Excellent set,
The lines in that first one are brilliant, cracking shot. 10 also.
They're all excellent with well thought out compositions and view points.
Looks like a cracking spot to visit.

Too many to really pick out faves but 1,3,4,10,11 and 12 pop for me.
Always love going through your posts.

👏👏👏

The first one is my favourite. Great place to visit. I was there a couple of years ago.

Yep, love the 'eye' you've shown to get that first one.

I've taken similar ones to no. 4 myself there but never got anything as good as that - there's something really pleasing about the light in that little spot isn't there.

Like everyone else I think the first is probably my favourite but number 5 is close, love the "framing" of the shot.

1, 5 and 8 for me. I like abstract shots like 8.

I've never been but am adding it to my wishlist.

A classic set, with number one as a definite contender for National Trust cover photograph.

A most enjoyable set. Good compositions and lovely colours in all, with some great shapes particularly in 1 and 4.

Yes, the first for me too.

Super set David, I do really like the first and last ones.

We must get together again soon.

Hi David nice set 1,4 and 8 for me

The jackdaws are super and, like the rest of the tribe, the first one really stands out.

First class David. Like everyone else I vote the first one top of the league but there's quality and wide variety in all these images.

Used to live in Ripon and visit FA quite often, not changed a bit since I left in 2003.

Really nice set of images.

Very nice David... you get a strong feel for the place from your set... particularly like the first one for your framing and strong lines, as well as the quirkiness of the last one...

Best
