[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the view down the Dart Valley from Combestone Tor on Dartmoor, it's a drop down a steep sided valley of about 130 meters to the River Dart at the bottom.
This shot was taken hand held and I used an ND8 Grad filter.

Thanks to all who view and comment on my pictures.

Hello Andy,

A lovely rural scene with its mixed green tones, rugged moorland, patchwork fields and rugged rocks.
I like how the two tors frame the shot. The cloudy sky is a must for the shot assisting not only in the interesting sky but also creating the depth of colours on the ground.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Nice, nice, nice...

Hi Andy,
Aha, like this impressive view of the Dartmoor, great dramatic sky. The piles of slab stones act here ar natural frame. Well seen and presented!

Hello Andy, another scene so typical of Dartmoor.
You have managed to include everything in this shot, well done.
The sky complements the beautiful features of the landscape.
Excellent sharpness and DoF.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Good idea to use the filter Andy - it's pulled the exposure of the sky to the right level Lovely landscape shot and well composed.
Nice job
