A shot from Dartmoor National Park from a couple of weeks back. Not the sharpest shot you will ever see, the wind and rain and poor ground saw to that. I was really captivated by this copse of trees in a little known area of the Park. I found their arrangement fascinating, and combined with the colors and textures, I thought it had something. I have played around with varying degrees of colour saturation and contrast, but kept coming back to a lower contrast and greater midtoned image. I liked the slightly eerie feel of the tree trunks, caught in a half light. It was raining at the time I took this, so the atmosphere was thick and heavy, but the colours of the Autumn leaves glowed and shone out. This might be a case of the memory of the place clouding my judgment of this shot. I remeber it as a truly magical moment.
