Hi Beverley
I love the compostion/POV
Colours and DOV spot on!
Only thing I would change would be the twig in the right corner...if I find that while framing up the photo and I don't like some of the foliage I will remove it before shooting.

Regards

i like how you made a decent composition out of an ordinary view just shows it is not just the subject but how one perceives and interprets the scene.

I was always intrigued with the stone walls I saw in England - always so eye-catching.
Good shot Bev, this is real England

Hi Bev

Nice scenic view.
Makes a change to see a blue sky, been dull and raining here most days.
Maybe if you had moved slightly to the left it would have improved the composition by removing the branch and the wall would not have been cut off.

Hello Beverley, I miss the dry stone walls living here in South Yorkshire! I used to live in West Yorks. where there are plenty of walls just like this.
A good subject to focus on.Good sharp detail, and I like the way the walls lead into the shot.
Just one little thing, on my screen your sky seems a bit OE.
Nevertheless a pleasant scene.
Regards Jean.

Hello, Bev.

A lovely shot. I think you rather like dry stone walls (as do I) and you certainly make the most of them in your pictures. This one is no exception - well composed and exposed with nice colours. My only niggle would be that the sky looks perhaps a tad too bright and on my monitor has a slight greenish cast - or, on the other hand, it could just be my ageing eyes!

You certainly live in a beautiful part of the World!

Excellent!

Best Wishes,

John.

Hi Bev,no wonder you guy's are all fit,with all this scenic landscapes only 5 min from your home, who wouldn't want to hike amongst it. I like these walls of stones,they have stood the test of time,& not a bit of cement to bind them.

So typically English Bev and well captured and composed. Good colour and lovely detail not only in the rocks but the grasses behind the wall,

Thanks for the double visit. I had to play taxi and the fog shot was on the way hone Bev, 2 minutes tops out of a warm car and I was wearing a heavy coat :)

Hi Bev - a beautiful scene you've snapped for us here.. Very nice composition.. It's difficult lighting with the contrast between the bright sky and the shadows.. I was thinking that you could have just burnt the sky in a little (pp) to enhance the blue and make the clouds more visible.
Cheers

hello Bev,
I love these old drystone walls and this one is particularly nice with the gentle curves leading one into the landscape. And a nice place it is to live too!
Have a good weekend, Joni

Hi Beverley

What a beautiful walk on a sunny - just 5 minutes away. the curving rock wall in my favorite elements here. Good DOF for clarity front to back of the image.

Hi Bev,
What a view for only a 5 mins walk from home. I like your composition with the drystone wall drawing the eye into the photo. The rolling hills are very inviting and I am sure that you explore them a lot.
TFS,
