Info Looking due South from Outer Pupers on the southern edge of Dartmoor in Devon, UK. It shows the southern edge of the moorland as it changes into agricultural land. Taken stood on a tor for which Dartmoor is well known in the last light before sunset and giving a sense of scale (and some cows!).

This picture has a really good mood. I have ended up watching it many times once I have browsed through the candidates. The light is awesome! I don't like the horizon being in the vertical center, but I Support this anyway because of the excellent feeling in this photo. (Herby, would you be willing to make an alternative version with some sky cropped away (and maybe or maybe not also a little bit from either left or right for not to make the aspect ratio too wide)?) --MattiPaavola (talk) 22:53, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very nice image, but I agree with MattiPaavola on cropping out, about 1/3 or 1/4 of sky. ■ MMXX ^talk 00:01, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Prefer the other version. Tiptoety ^talk 22:32, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative crop? edit

I'm inclined to agree - this is maybe better :). I could take a little more off the sky maybe but not much more.

Support Yes, even slightly better now. --MattiPaavola (talk) 10:19, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice lighting and atmosphere. Perhaps the composition could still use a little less sky, but the more you crop, the more of it´s color it looses. Nikopol (talk) 10:42, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support very nice, colors like painting. Good composition now --George Chernilevsky ^talk 09:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Interesting view and light, but I get a little dissapointed when viewing it in 1:1. Has some kind of combined smoothening/sharpening been done to this? For instance, to the left where there are two cows, the texture of the grass looks very soft (too much noise reduction?), and I also wondering about the colors. Has the saturation knob been given a hrmph to make it more colorful, the two aforementioned cows have colors, which seem unnatural/oversaturated for me? Finally, I would have preferred if a few of the cattle had been much closer by, as they would have been more immediately recognisable for what they are when seeing the image in smaller size, by which the eye could extrapolate to the smaller cattle in the background and deduce what they were. Would have given a better feeling of the (very large) depth in this photo. --Slaunger (talk) 21:25, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I do appreciate the time taken to comment at length. A number of issues I do understand (& maybe agree with :)). The only thing I would say is that the saturation on this image has actually been turned down a bit as the original looked rather unbelievable! The light quality that evening was quite remarkable. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 09:27, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thank you for not being annoyed by my pedantic comments . Yes, light conditions at dawn can sometimes be very surreal and deceiving and I take my suspicion about turning the saturation knob back. That time of day is my favorite hour as well due to the unusuals sights you can be lucky to find. --Slaunger (talk) 09:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
