Chiswick House Gardens

Here are a few photos of the gardens at Chiswick House. If you're in the area take a walk around.

Chiswick House is a magnificent neo-Palladian villa set in beautiful historic gardens in west London. A £12.1 million project has restored the gardens which were unveiled in June 2010.

Built by the third Earl of Burlington in 1729 to showcase his art collection and to enthral his guests, the house continues to display many spectacular works of art and provides a stunning venue for entertaining.

The gardens at Chiswick are the birthplace of the English Landscape Movement and have inspired countless gardens including New York's Central Park.

Wow, yet another photo goes into a magazine. Must admit I do like this one, it was a cold evening and it paid off having one of the photos published, and it's on a double page! a double wow.

BOADICEA

I took this photo of Boadicea and when I looked at it on my PC it looked too flat, too much into the background. So I set myself a task, take away the background and hopefully end up with a better looking photo.

I thought I take away the background and replace it with the sky. I had this photo already and I just took out the lamp post.

Added a few more clouds.

Here is the final photo. 

Boadicea with a better background and using the rule of thirds I moved it across the page so it looks like she is riding into the photo.
