I love my wide-angle, but some shots just absolutely fail with it - like this one. Whenever there's objects that go off into the distance that you want to include in a big way in the final picture then you need a zoom for the compression effect it gives. Had I took this with my wide-angle, even at 28mm the most zoomed mine goes, the houses further up the street would of been half the size and the boring sky would of took up at least a third of the picture. This was shot with a 70-200mm.

For those who don't know, the stone in the Cotswold is like a yellow, totally different that other places. Castle Combe is stunning and quintessentially English. I can't believe I just spelt quintessentially right, I had to type it again differently to make sure the red underline works.
