I used to visit Castleton in the mid 80s when I used to go Hang gliding and used to drop in to the pub there which I am unable to recall the name of .but what a beautiful quaint village and you have portrayed its beauty in your presentation

Nik,
Proof it were needed that you don't need bright sunshine to show off the beauty of this Derbyshire village of Castleton near the magical Blue John Cavern. The soft light under the overcast sky showing off the stone built row of shops to best advantage. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

What a quaint row of shops waiting to be explored! I like the angle you've chosen for your composition. It draws your eye to the green meadow on the edge of the village. Very lovely!

Nikman,

This is a crisp and inspiring shot of that
walk in Castleton, Derbyshire England. I knew right away it was a UK photo. What is a "Croft Shop?"

Very cozy scene you have captured. Super details a great lighting.

    I am very grateful for your nice review and that big 6! A croft is a small rented house with a bit of land with it. Probably over time the farming aspect declined and the house was converted into a shop.

This looks like a cozy little village, and I especially like your vantage point creating such fine leading lines. You have also brought out so well the fine textures of the old walls.

The photo is very sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in all the buildings. The exposure is perfect.

The format and tight framing is working well, and it is indeed a fine balance in the composition. This is a great looking and well taken photo Nikman, and with an excellent DOF.

Typical scene from a typical english village,difficult to know where to crop this or put in,maybe stepping back you would have got more of those shops in,but it might not have been possible...Brian

Great photograph of this street of a small village leading into the open green landscape.

Wonderful diagonal composition and nice details on the buildings showing great colors of old and new.

Looks like something straight out of Midsummer Murder Mystery - great shot showing the old stone shops with lovely display windows. Good composition and your focus is good throughout.
