Steps looking through the gate looking up to the Penshaw monument. Taken with a sigma 17/70 on the k10.

I love this shot too but I'd be tempted to crop/clone out the person in the red coat and crop off a little of the gravel path at the front.

Best wishes, Kris.

I like this shot too. Including the gate adds something, sort of an invitation into the picture. I'd like to see it with a bit cropped off the left and bottom though, as womble suggests. Might be slightly better.

This is completely off topic, but I think this monument lead to the naming of a band a used to play in when I lived in Durham. The others in the band went off on a trip somewhere and came back with the name "Beyond the Parthenon", and I'm pretty sure they visited Penshaw monument. After all this time I now know what it looks like.

Robert.
