Dartmoor Ruin

Nice ghostly feel to this. Almost looks like it was taken with IR film. Imo, it might have benefitted from cropping out some of the dark foreground.

Thanks for the comment tjflyn, this was my first attempt at this sort of effect, I think you are right about the foreground, thanks.

Great shot and an excellent effort. Any chance of letting me know where on Dartmoor it is? As a keen rambler and photographer of the moors I'd love to pay it a visit.

Thanks for your comment Colin, I tried to email you but with no joy. The ruin is just up the track from Leather Tor Bridge on the right hand side, about half way up the incline.
