No. 2 captures it really well for me, the colours, light, and beck wandering off into the distance, like being there but without all the puffing, panting and sweating.
 
The first and last are my pick(y).
 
The light was not playing when you took these.

It certainly looks like Watendlath to me.

That's my c&c. Dull flat light makes for dull flat images. As pretty images they fail, fall at the first hurdle.

But as a device to show how that place looks the bulk of the time an accurate rendition. British countryside, occasionally beautiful but often flat, grey and uninspiring.

Absolutely not, if a blue sky with fluffy white clouds and a land with the greenest of greens is all that floats your boat then I feel sorry for you.

No, but the light has to be interesting. Shadows, contrast, not just flat grey dullness. A day like that isn't a day to get the camera out other than to take a snap shot to say I've been there.

OK, we are not going to agree but for me No. 2 tells a bit of a story and is more that just a snap. It shows a dormant land emerging from under snow cover and the path invites a walker to explore deeper into the landscape but heavy black rain clouds threaten the unwary.
