Got to love your postcard detail Fred.

Super perspective - such a difficult angle to capture. Is this for the BBC competition? If not, then you should definitely enter it.

A stunner, Fred! I love the composition, and the excellent use of varied shapes that makes the painting sing.

Thank you Thea and Seok. Have already sent four off so holding back on this one. Thank you Seok for your kind comments on all of my other postcards, much appreciated.

I think this the best of your post cards. Seok has summed it up nicely.

This tower has a name I've forgotten - named after an Abbott, I think: it's a long time since I was there. You've caught it very well.

Thank you Gudrun and Robert. I thought it was just known as the bell tower.

Lovely line and wash
