Or a jigsaw puzzle? Very pink! Nicely shot though. K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice shot, but what's happened to the clouds? Levels pushed too far?

Isn't that the tea room where they have a piano playing in the garden? The best Devon cream tea I've had. Maybe lighten the cottage and turn the sky down a bit?

Sensor really pushed to the limit in this one: look at the dynamic range between those cloud highlights and the bushes! Lovely spot. Devon's a very special county.

Regards,

Best wishes,
