Thematic Post Processing Challenge #367

Welcome to Post-Processing Challenge #367

Thanks Frank for hosting last weeks challenge and for picking my effort as the winner. This was a surprise as I felt that there were some really good interpretations of the original image.

For this week's challenge, here is a photo of Brockhampton Manor House, a National Trust property in Worcestershire.
I think this would be a good opportunity to experiment with artistic effects. Let's see what you come up with.

The Challenge will run for the week until Midday Saturday 17th April 2021 (GMT+1).

The RAW and JPG files can be found here.....

A lovely chocolate box photo!

Nice one Tuggie76. You don't seem to see the traditional choccy boxes any more (at least not in the UK).

Thanks Steve, no, I guess it was a phase, maybe showing my age! But a perfect picture for one. For some reason I think its Ann Hathaway's cottage.

No that is in Shottery in Warwickshire. This is Brockhampton Manor House in Worcestershire.

Hi Folks. Ok so here are the results for PP Challenge x367.

Kerrowdown. Really liked this one. Classic sepia tone and is that a blurry vignette? Great effect anyway.
Michael_P. Nice handling though I would have removed the onlookers.
Mariwalt. An interesting version. Good colours and overall tone.
Pelto. I thing I would buy that postcard to show everyone where I have been.
Jmacais. Like the treatment which makes it a little like a painting. Still would have lost the people and maybe made more of the red roses.
Tuggie76. Great version here. A little oversaturated for normal but just the job for a chocholate box.
XS400. Liked the slightly grainy texture of this one. A real old fashioned look.

Difficult to choose as usual but I am going for.....

Winner - jmacias
Runner up - Kerrowdown
Hon. Mention - Pelto

So, over to jmacias for the next challenge.

In case you are interested, here is what I did with it.
