It's a nice POV of the villages Shops on a dreary over cast day.
You have nice colors, details.
White balance/Exposure needed to be Controlled better in the sky with the hot white area which is distracting.

A fine village scene, but the top does bother me a bit with the blow out.. perhaps trimming more at the top would have benefited this shot.

If you do crop, let me know and I'll change my score a bit higher :)

Lovely town though and your details are fine and intricate

    Thanks for your nice review! No, I do not intend to crop because the scene was like that.

    I totally understand Nikman... wish I could such scenes as you do :)

    You can if you go into Derbyshire, England where there are many such scenes!

You cannot tell that these are shops now, love the green mountain top, no trees?, It looks pretty empty, must be early morning for shoppers, love the representation of what it is like in this area

    Glad you enjoyed my photo! Many thanks for your nice review! Its actually early evening and the shops are closed, neither do they look glitzy. Correct! Absolutely no trees on those hills!!

Oh, I just love this one. The composition is just so spot on. Perfectly done to lead the viewer into the village and own the road. Superb DOF, clarity and detail. You do curves and levels so well. Truly one of your very best. Good luck in the contest.

This looks like such an idyllic little village, and it must just be waiting to be photographed. I especially like your POV creating such fine leading lines, and how well the textures of the facades are brought out.

The photo is Nice and Sharp showing such Clear and well defined details in all the buildings, and the all over exposure is fine. The almost blown out cloud at the top, is however a slight distraction.

The format and framing is very good, and I think it is a very good Balance in the composition. All together a truly lovely and well taken photo, and With an excellent DOF. I wish you Luck With the contest.

Well done. Interesting angle to capture the buildings, the gray sky and rolling hills. The focus is nicely done, the viewer can look at the town or they can imagine walking down the street into the photograph. Robert

Lovely angle to take this from so you see not only the quaint old houses of the village but the green hills in background. The cloud above however does seem over exposed to the point of distraction.

What a quaint little town.
Your point of view is excellent. It gives the viewer the very best look possible of all the things this town has to offer. I like the contrast of the buildings against the green hill in the background. It looks like someplace I'd like to visit.
