Simple Things

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 16 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

The first from a series of shots taken on Dartmoor over the weekend; I quite like the simplicity of this, it's a good idea not to overcomplicate things.

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)
