This is part of a walk my partner and I have 'adopted' as Trailwatchers. It's a 5 mile section of the Coleridge Way within Exmoor National Park and runs betwen two pubs - The Valiant Soldier at Roadwater and The Notley Arms at Monksilver. Great for refreshment at start and finish points!
I've managed to get quite a bit of walking in during November and always take my camera with me, so had quite a choice of shots for this free study. Decided on this one in the end though as I felt it reflected that glorious, crisp, clear autumn feeling.
Shot in RAW, converted in Olympus Master. Levels, curves, channel mixer, cloned out a small but rather annoying and distracting bare branch, resized, framed by extending canvas and saved for web.

Nice capture of a pastoral setting. Love the leading lines and the way the meadow on the right balances the lane. Well done. Not a fan of the letterbox framing, though.
Beaiful shot - not 100% sure that I love the top but with or without it I do like it - I always wonder about putting something like that in the foreground that blocks some of the whole rest of the photo. It works here but I still think I'd prefer this photo without it, which I am sure you also have - anyway, nice shot!
What an idyllic pastural scene! Beautifully framed by the branch and leaves, although less convinced by the heaviness of the border. A solid 8 from me.
