Mere lawns weren’t really cool – especially in the 17th century before lawn mowers were invented, so William, the third Lord Meath, placed his piece de resistance, a pair of canals, 550 feet (167 meters) in length and known as “mirror d’eaux” into the main vista from the house.
And if, incidentally, anyone thinks they recognise Killruddery House, it’s possibly because it was used as a prime location in TV series, “The Tudors”.
You know, it’s funny. You have wonderful detail, great perspective, and nice colors. Now why is it that I am fascinated with the thinkness of the grass? How it’s over the edge toward the water way. It’s strange what our eyes lock on to.
Thank you Fernando, we all have lots to learn in photography – even those (or maybe especially those) who have been at it for aeons – and despite your modesty, I think that you have excellent technique, ability and imagination.

ce que j’aime le plus chez toi , c’est le gout du détail et de la perfection. Bien vu cette convergence des lignes vers un point fort

That would be quite the vista from one’s front door, George! I do like your POV, looking back to the manor/house.
