All from along the old drove road running across the top of the Quantock Hills, Somerset, SW England.

I love how the trees provide a vegetal shelter… Processing is excellent as is framing.
It's a very nice gallery!
-
Eerie and very dramatic. Terrific!

I am quite envious.
Lovely subject perfect execution.

Masterful....I can just keep looking at them.

All excellent, Bill, but the second is truly wonderful.

Wow Bill! Everything about these photographs is everything I like about photographs!
Your processing transforms the already lovely colour pictures (I saw them on Flickr) into something really special!
I think they would make wonderful prints.

Top notch work, Bill. Bravo!
-
What a great set of images Bill.
I think you have shot along this patch before Bill and if so, then doesn't it prove that going back to the same location over and over again with your camera, allows you to become ever more attuned to what you can find there?

A nice set of b&w images, Bill. Well done!
-
Outstanding set. The second image is among the finest I have seen in a while.
-
Wow. Thanks for all the positive comments.
Dave, yes, I return again & again to some of these spots. Something changes every time - a tree will have fallen, it'll be foggy or the light will have changed, the leaves turned, leaves gone, snow ... always worth return visits.

Great photographs! Fairytale timesless atmosphere without overdone sentiments.
Very nice in BW
I only wish that the people on them would not make me snap back into reality.
They could be left out for me or replaced by less time related silhouettes.

Me too!

... replaced by less time related silhouettes.
I thought too a stronger silhouette would be beneficial in #2.

I've got a couple from the same position (more or less), sans humans. What do you think?

People almost always enhance any picture if you shoot it properly. You shot these properly.

Unusually for me, I prefer the one with the man and his dog, although I think I might like it even more if they were walking away from me. The wider shot seems to me more documentary and less artistically appealing.

I agree.
The one with the man and dog is way above the others, nice as they are.

I very much prefer no2
But- it is your photo- the other reactions ( and mine) are not relevant.

First from the second set without humans; on the same level with the one that has the man and the dog.
-
Wow I like these images! usually I would go for without people but in this case I like the human element. Anyway both versions are really wonderful.

I think you posted these a while back right? Also nice shots but I think the people enhance them.

No, that's the first time I've posted them here. Glad you liked them. Ditto everyone else. Now to get 'em printed
-
Great set.

Excellent set of images. Of the two images that have with and without humans, the first I prefer without (the humans fight with the wonderful line of trees in my opinion) the second I prefer with humans.
