Thanks Pete, I'd have liked to have got the colours more subtle, without losing to much zazazoom . This was as close as I could get on this occasion.What wonderful light, so subtle. Love it.
thank you Brian , seems as if it is showing the colours I aimed at.The greens look subdued on my screen. However, lovely shot, Julian.
The sky is wonderful, and I love the wiggly-waggly-woo of the landscape.
So do I, but, it's good.Thank you all.
I had another version a lot less subtle. This one got into Flickr explore with over 7000 views the fist day which tells a story I guess. I prefer the first image.

Me too.
Both are really good but I prefer the first one also. I think the light in the first one is really gorgeous.
thank you all. I have noticed in some competitions, and across flickr, some types of images do far better then others as regards to being acknowledged positively. Most often these are not so close to my own taste. Being very saturated can be one of the elements that is regarded as a positive . Reading about someone who wins a lot of competitions he said, he worked to a formula, one being saturation levels, another being that the image has to work as a thumbnail size as well as expanded , none of this surprises me but interesting. .First one for me, too. But the second has its own kind of brooding appeal.
Edit: I think the sky is quite stunning in the second one. Perhaps if the light on the landscape were lifted slightly the second would then become my favorite.
I fully Agree PaulI think the first version is a corker. The 2nd OK but not for me. I think the first just has so much more to hold my interest.
