Steve, Jeremy, I have played with the levels and this is the result. I think I agree with you - It does look better. I use Levels quite a lot and usually aim for a 'contrasty' look, maximising the colour range. But I guess I need to keep an eye on the overall brightness of the image too. Thanks...

Many thanks Jean and Michelle. I really appreciate the feedback. It was one of those amazing days. The cloud shadows were racing across the sea and the landscape. I grabbed a few (!) shots and this one probably captured it best. (Sorry for the late reply - I haven't logged on for a few weeks.)

Very nice. You have the exposure just right and I really like the framed composition.

I took this back in August of 2016. A very blowy day! Breathtaking views with the sunlight revealing Cornwall at its best. I will miss it this year. IMGP8630_R4 by Chris Whittenbury, on Flickr

So I've had a play with GIMP using levels and masks with a bit of sharpening thrown in for good measure. I may have gone a little bit far in some areas but it's getting there I think. Thanks again for the feedback. It is really appreciated. CERW0157_R9 by Chris Whittenbury, on Flickr

Thanks for the feedback JasonPC. Although I've been in Worcestershire for 20 years now it was my first trip to the ridge. I will be going back again. (Plus, it doesn't really feel like exercise when walking to the next vantage point!)

Thanks ManxTom, I'll definitely be back. Will try the pie!

I recently took some exercise on the Stiperstones Ridge and Long Mynd in Shropshire. It was windy and cold but there were many beautiful views with the clouds racing across the undulating landscape. I thought I would share these images. My first post. :)
