Nice views from above Derwentwater, bright daylight hours are difficult as there are no shadows/contrast, looks like you had a good time

Well do some more PP on them is my advice 2 & 3 stitch together nicely and with some work would be nice in mono

Here is a quick edit of 2 & 3 hope you dont mind

Not my shot 5 2015 by Alf Branch, on Flickr

@iwols Lovely scenes but they're a little flat, probably due to the time of day you shot them. A little PP work might bring the best out of them.

@alfbranch Really like that Alf well stitched together and you've managed to breath new life into them. Something for the OP to learn from, although shooting at the best time of day is preferable decent PP can help improve and image, when the lights not at its best

Very true Steve as light is the key

A tricky place to take really good photos from as Skiddaw is obscured by trees, and so often when you find yourself there the sun is where you want to point the camera. Early morning I think is going to be the time to get a good photo from there, and something I keep meaning to do is get up and be there for dawn.

So I think the light is letting you down a bit. But I like Alf's panorama which does help to bring out the character of the scene more.

Not the first time I have stitched a couple shots of that view here is a snap I took from there myself with my compact
