This is another of my photos taken around the Sheepstor area of Dartmoor.

These wind-blasted trees (this one is probably a hawthorn) are typical of higher moorland.

    in french (sorry fr my very bad english): superbe contraste entre le premier plan et le fond du paysage, ce qui ajoute un côté “dramatique” à la compositionet lui donne plus de profondeur. J’adore, I love it

    This is a great landscape! I really like the way you have the colourful foreground and the muted background which really makes the shot work, for me. The tree is a good element and counterpoint to the mountains. Well shot!

    I love the way this was composed, with the three better lit areas (distant sky, behind tree and bottom right) perfectly placed. The dark grey of the sky and the brightly-lit orange foreground complement each other perfectly.
