View over Salcombe-2858

View from Overbecks House, former home of Otto Overbeck the inventor and scientist. The house and subtropical garden are well worth a visit, but the road up to them is narrow and steep with no passing places, leading to fraught tempers in high season. Salcombe is a delightful village with some connection to the Normandy Landings. It is also the home of Jack Wills the renowned clothing brand. 2015 shot revised with LR. Critique: I should have used a larger depth of field to get better focus on the distant village. In the rework I have exaggerated the parameters of the village area to make it look like a painting, so the foreground is natural and the background, hopefully, looks like a painted picture.
