Mapledurham Church
Photo Information
This was used as a location for shooting 'The Eagle Has Landed' - possibly due to the isolated location.
Taken from across the Thames at Mapledurham Lock using the Sigma 18-250mm on the K-r.
RAW image processed in PSE11 RAW plugin to give an effect similar to one of Roche Abbey posted by David Storm.

The nondescript colours really work in this

Many thanks for the comments, Andrew & Malc.
In the original full colour shot the church was a bit lost behind the trees so I thought I'd try an experiment in B&W by reducing the Saturation slider. However, I found that by not taking the slider the whole way and increasing the Vibrance I was able to keep some green in the grass to give a similar effect to that shown by David Storm in one of his shots ?
The result is not quite as dramatic as David's but I felt it did enhance the presence of the church building.
If you don't try you never learn is my maxim !
Thanks again
Peter
