To me Dartmoor is tors and moors rather than cut hay fields.

I am fond of purple and use it quite often so I love the color here. The rocks, hills and sky look great but the as others have said the grass is blown out and there is no focal point. Just a suggestion...Maybe you could bring an object, person or animal with you and add this to the composition.

Nice focus! Love the sky and tones! Good composition. If you visit again, I wonder if more of the breaking waves in the foreground would add to the composition.

Oh, this is lovely! The minimalistic approach works very well here. The processing (which you should note in your comments, so we know what you did) makes it look kind of like the bottom half is pure B&W with the top half (the sky) more of a sepia tone. I find that rather interesting.

I think a different perspective may help this as well. I'm thinking back and to the right?

Comment by sherpet:
A little overpowering re the strong tone color and I would prefer to see ir in sepia or b&w.....

Not too sure what I'm looking at.

Firstly there doesn't seem to be a point of focus which makes it impossible for my eye to rest. I want to think it's water, but don't think it is.

The colour is too violet for me and the blow outs not so pleasant.

Not sure what you were wanting to present, prehaps if I could see the original - may have some idea.

The tiny objects in the distance (on the water and the hill) really keep the image from being boring. They lend visual interest without overpowering the simple beauty of the view.

Oooh, not too fond of this, sorry. I think there is too much of the grass in the photo and that is not the interesting part. I want to see the mountains in the background. I do like the detail in the rocks to the right.

Don't love the sky tons - sorry!
