nice shot. really shows off well how long a dry stone wall takes to grow. hard to believe that once they sprout like this they take another 236 years to reach 5 feet out of the ground....
ok ok it's not april the first yet...
no seriously i do like it, makes me want to go walking. i'd maybe be inclined to up the contrast a bit, or then again it looks fine as is.

Nice image with great atmosphere. Possibly agree on the contrast.
Good to see Derbyshire clear of people I was at Lathkill Dale on Saturday and for the whole eight mile walk there where other people every 100 yards.

I like the setting but it just lacks a focal point. The foreground rocks take you into the image and have great texture and the spine of the hill lead you through the frame but just get lost in the mist. Agree more contrast would help the features stand out
Looks nice, but I do agree with Magnus, it misses something.

Doesn't grab me either I'm afraid.. Looks quite flat and as Magnus has already pointed out it lacks a focal point. I can see that you were attempting a leading line with the rocks but not enough detail to lead you onto anything... I think this will be better attempted on a clearer day, early morning or evening light should bring out a little more feature in the places you have attempted to capture here.
