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.

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)
