Hamilton Square in the fog

Hamilton Square is part of the original Birkenhead and is all Victorian buildings with a couple of memorials monuments. There is definitely something here, but I've not been able to fully do it justice yet. It seems to suit wet, dark conditions (or is that just me?).
So, seeing at is is so foggy here the past few days, I thought I'd have another go at it. (Mono was my choice before I set out. I thought it would work better in low light and foggy conditions.)
C&C always welcome.

I think this little set certainly does it justice - moody, misty, mono - super shooting

I like 'em a lot. The mist removes a lot of potentially distracting detail and allows the light and shapes to come to the fore.

In which case, I'm really, really, really looking forward to what you do to it next!

And Port Sunlight is yet another fascinating place with oodles of photographic potential but then you doubtless already know that.

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

Good stuff, making the point that photography is all about the quality of the light.
Best regards, John

Very nice recreation of the mood, mono rendering does full justice to the image.

Yeah. I did consider going there too. I'm about equi-distant between the two.

Thanks John.
But is it the quality of the light or being able to make use of the light regardless of quality?
(I'll have to let more knowledgable people answer that )

I feel cold and damp looking at the pictures. Well done and well captured!
