NOTICE: THIS IMAGE IS COPYRIGHTED AND NOT TO BE POSTED ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE. This is in the UK in an area called Northumberland National Park. An information board just out of sight to the left states that this is some of Britain's finest open country. It is the least populated and has an incomparable atmosphere of wilderness. These are places where time passes slowly. I hope the people living in the quaint farm way back in the background know how fortunate they are. Bob, when you get a chance, go back to this spot and give it a big military salute for me. I love it.

Good composition. Colours are nice and natural.

Bonus is the sweeping shadows that lie across the scene. :o)

Caveats?

To my eyes anyways, Pat ... think you could dial back the noise reduction some.

Not sure which program you use, perhaps investigate the red channel only? For comparative purposes. Typically ... typically, that is ... the red channel is the noisiest.

There are a myriad of tutorials out there, with respect to noise removal. One in particular that comes to mind is that of an image with a noisy sky for the most part. Rest of image/photo fine. More or less.

In Channels, what is suggested is to apply a Surface Blur to a selection made of the sky ... and only on those channels that are the noisiest (and it will be a small'ish number or setting ... experiment, of course). So, once again, not a global application or noise reduction ... more local and limited.

And my curiosity has gotten the better of me ... crop?


That said, would have loved to have seen this firsthand. Definitely my kind of country. 'Most inviting' readily comes to mind as a phrasing. :o)

Nice to see land that is still much like it was intended. You are right about the fortunate farm dwellers. And no alligators.
Good post Owd Momma.

It is a most pleasant scene ... the contours of the natural landscape are very inviting ... a place I'd love to explore over & over. The wooden fence in the foreground tells me just how expansive this place is. Wonderful capture Pat.

Wonderful composition, I like the fence in the foreground... and then there's the rolling and desolate landscape that has seen so many ages of man come and go... I always wonder how people in such isolated places get by. I'd like it for a while, but then...

As Richie (Biffo) says...very bleak but also very popular for walkers who love to walk the whole 80 miles of the Roman Wall from coast to coast!....The 'wall' runs along the top of that hill on the right....walk about a half mile past that lake, and you will come to the most photographed tree in the country....The tree portrayed in 'Robin Hood' 'Prince of Thieves' that starred Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman!...

And yes...I will go back soon...to salute with my camera!...

As soon as I saw the fence I thought this was a photo by Dunstickin, well I was almost right, you took it in his neck of the woods. I think it looks great, Wonderful post Pat.

Fabulous composition and depth Pat, really like all the different textures from the fence to the cliffs, beautiful capture.

How do they keep the cows and sheep from running away.
