[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Clovelly is a village on the north Devon coast, England near Bideford. It is a major tourist attraction, famous for its history, extremely steep car-free cobbled main street, donkeys, and beautiful location looking out over the Bristol Channel. Thick woods shelter it and render the climate so mild that even tender plants flourish.
Clovelly used to be a fishing village and in 1901 had a population of 621. It is a cluster of wattle and daub cottages on the sides of a rocky cleft; its main street resembles a cobbled staircase which descends 400 feet (120 metres) to the pier, too steeply to allow wheeled traffic. Sledges are used for the movement of goods. The street is lined with houses, shops and eating-places.

I think this is a really neat photo with a very cool perspective. The shot is nice and sharp and that yellow house really stands out. It is a little dark, but I think that is not a bad thing:) I like it. Good note too.

Serwus Craig !
Powerful perspective down the street in fine tight framing. I like the emptyness of the place and grey tones. Is it the sea wee see on the background. If yes, exceptional merged with the horizon line.
Superb Work.
Best regards,
