The Palladian Bridge, Stowe School

I've decided to re-process this shot manually using Capture One Pro 10 rather than using automated filters of Silver Efex Pro that I used when I first posted it. I much prefer the control that I have with Capture One and I’m finally pleased enough with the results to re-post it.

 

The shot is of the famous Palladian Bridge at Stowe School from 2014. It was built from 1738-44 and resides in the grounds designed by Lancelot “Capability” Brown. Its design was inspired by the works of the Venetian architect Andrea Palladio (1508-80), which is strongly based on symmetry, perspective and formal classical temple architecture in the ancient Greek and Roman style.

 

It has a 5 bay iconic colonnade flanked by pedimented pavilions with attached columns framing semi-circular-headed arches with scroll key blocks to the sides. Carved heads to ends. Balustrade parapet to bridge. Coffered ceiling with colonnade.
