I think you did a good job with this and I like the way you did not disguise the gloomy grey day. That's reality, especially on Hound of the Baskevilles Dartmoor.

Nice photo compositon. however with the grey sky, I think some additional Post processing could have been done to bring out the features of the overall photo, more depth in the clouds, more vibrance in the greens and browns. This then would ahve added significantly to the overall effect of the image

Very nice - I know it's bleak out there but a touch more saturation may have helped to boost it

This place looks really cool... like the kind of place you go when you want to be left alone. Nice and moody.
