Daves View
Noughts and Crosses
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 21 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
I'm currently using a hoover as an impromptu cooling fan for my laptop, so unless the repair guy down the road can work his magic tomorrow, it may be the end of my near 2-year posting streak! :(
As for this one, another one from Dartmoor, pretty much outa the camera apart from the B&W
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Not sure what the pretty much means, looks like it has had some pp other than mono but nevertheless it is a great shot

@P J W Miller: Other than a curve layer, this is as shot; it might look off as its overexposed by 1 stop to maximise the data captured
@Giovanni: Thanks Giovanni

Lovely setting, even if it looks dry and arid. The choice of B&W is obvious. Well done.

Laura from Birmingham, United Kingdom
works so well in B&W, and the grass in the foreground has great definition. Good that you got down low for this shot, the perspective and landscape is great

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Very strange to find a cross in a such deserted place. Contrasted B&W suit well.

@Evelyne Dubos: Thanks Evelyne, they're scattered all over the place

Very powerful image, the cross in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful.

Tracy from La Selva Beach, United States
This is fantastic in B&W- I love the solitary feel of this.
I hope your computer survives :) It would be a shame if you were "out of commission"

@Didier DE ZAN: Thanks Didier
