As well as being over-saturated (the sky particularly) there's a lot of noise and not a lot of definition in the textures of the trees.

You can hmm all you like, dangermouse1964, I still haven't 'tone mapped' the image.

I'm not tone mapping the image at all.

I thought I'd give it one more go, as although I think it was better, I don't think it was quite there.

I agree it was on the OTT side. I processed it using my laptop instead of my desktop, which I won't be doing again. Thank you. I think so too.

I've reprocessed this one. Better?

Thanks for the comments, all.

Well it's not an HDR. It's possible I may have upped the blacks a little too much. I've perhaps over-sharpened too as you suggested in the other thread. I may well reprocess both later on. Thanks, squizza. As for straightening it: look at the path, the vertical lines of the gate posts...

Taken on the same day and about 15 minutes later than the other photograph I posted not long ago.

Thanks for the comments. It isn't an HDR; it's a single exposure, although it's quite contrasty admittedly.

I like that but I disagree about the pylon needing to be removed. It's not a countryside landscape and it doesn't distract my attention from the trails and standing against the sky, I think it adds a bit of mood to the scene in that it smacks of human kind's intervention in respect of our view...

Thanks, everybody, for the comments.

The time to do the Peak District justice is during the golden hours, in my opinion. It has a beauty of its own, but its hills don't really present an obvious focal point like some places do.

Thanks, all. :) Although I admit I got my partner to scare those geese into flight so I could get the shot I had in mind.
