I actually like the fact that you choose an unusual viewpoint. I think you succeeded in combining it all, and there are lots of interesting features to look at in this picture. Lastly, great weather too. I'd love to go back there once with a proper camera and all the knowledge I gained since than (spent half a year studying in Bangor in 1993 and visited the Lake District as well).
 
Stunning, Barry! Wonderful subtle tones and glow. The midtones are soaringly beautiful. Reminiscent of palladium prints.
 
Nice print and good use of the 65 lens.

Nice one. I can feel the Lake District dampness right through to my bones.
The partial toning works well - cold blacks from the Dokumol and warm highlights.
 
You always extract -what appears to me - the essence of a scene and then use your technical abilities to produce a very evocative print.
