Yes I think that would be very spooky, sort of like time lapse with moving shadows. :)

Yes, that is the one from last year when I thought I might have a look round for half an hour, it is a panorama but generally taken in haste so that I could examine potential. Then I had to leave to catch the bus to Lichfield. Each individual and groups seem to be telling their own story and if you catch their eye can be bought to life.
I spent most of my time in another corner of the park since it was very busy on Thursday and it is 450 acres so I suppose a lot of even better shots to take. :)
The third is a good one.About the doors are several theories.One of them tells about Heaven's
doors/gates.In this shot I should want more space in foreground which gives a link between gate and
and the two "eyes".About the forth and the seventh tomorrow because now Iam going to bed.
Thank You for reading.

Never heard of one with an "o", either:) Who cares about the spelling anyway as long as your photos are good! I teach English at our local junior high school. The longer I teach; the worse my spelling becomes. Hopefully, the reverse will happen with photography!
Number four is definitely haunting.
Minimize the crop is one of goals,of course.In this respect I tried to tell You what I should do
there instead of You.Of course me are me and You are not me and England is to far for me so I try to arrive there through other eyes.
Now I tell You about the seventh.For me is an equilibrium problem and the solution could be
to photograph from right side down to up without wall and sky as You see below.I did not earase completly the wall to see the differencies between with and without wall.
In the forth your photo instinct told about the point of interest.I don't know why You didn't succeed in.
About the fifth more air on the left side and the camera direction from down right to the left up to increase the effect of rounded point of interest.
I hope I bored You not too much.

Cheers Radu; I will use a longer lens for the one with outstretched arm, was thinking about direction in the last although it will mean leaning over the statue and the one with instinct was taken like that to avoid an outstretched disembodied hand and another disembodied arm. But I will certainly do these and some more of things I've yet to see. cheers. :) I like a range of styles from portrait to landscape sometimes together.
Some more; I'm just working through them from bad to worse, I mean from bad to good. :)
They have only got about 200 monuments or something like that.

This sort of came out different

Another one; I should stop doing these long ones.

An HDR version of the above, I feel I can go wider because of greater detail, but I'm not sure if it is just my eyes playing tricks.

And one for Radu before I go off and do my own thing :)

This is as close as you can get without special permission and commercial photographers have to hand over thousands, in the style of Radu a portrait, seeing the exif proves I'm crackers and it is deliberately blown. :)

How would you crop this bearing in mind life is grim for the boy; I head has seized up. :(

I also noticed the dof and it looks like my sharpening is sharpening dof, this is f1.8 50mm 1/2000
Hi Steve,
I am glad You tried,but...always there is a but...
As You know a "hand strecher" is not usually carried in such position.This "over the head" position tried to induce "the rising to Heaven".This was the starting point to give a meaning to your shot.This rising to sky ask more "air" at the top of the shot not at the left.The variable density of the mist induced the passing from terrestrial to heavenly.
Thank You for reading and understanding.

A bit like this but less ragged maybe :) I'll just write out one thousand lines, 'must pay attention' and next time third time lucky eh. :)

This was a bit like you suggested Radu, but I had this idea as well.
