Stowe is a wonderful place and you've highlighted it's wonders here...your photographs have done it a far better service than the guy who painted it and won the round on 'Landscape Painter of the Year 2016'.

Philip, a great day at Stowe, clearly! 4 and 5 are the picks for me .....4 has an excellent layout of elements and conveys good depth, and 5 has that strong perspective and framing.
1 and 2 would benefit from a wider viewpoint or focal length to add some extra foreground, I think.
It's the built highlights here that add so much, that are so integral to the place. I guess the landscape alone is more of a challenge.

I've long wanted to go there. We live fairly close to Stourhead. Your pictures are lovely and show the place up to perfection.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Thank you for your comments, gentlemen. Stowe is a wonderful location and well worth a visit at any time of the year. I have heard similar things about Stourhead - I must try to get there sometime.
Cheers.
Philip

Great pictures! Number 3 is my fave. The position of the bridge really draws in my eye.
