English Countryside

Hello everyone, Here are three versions of a photo I took while in England. Please let me know what you think, what could be improved etc. Thanks!

Canon 5dII
24-105L @ 24mm F8
ISO 400
1/250 second

1.

I don't see much difference between the 1st and 3rd...maybe the crop?

For me, it lacks some foreground interest - it needs something more to hold my interest. On a technical note, watch out for the dust bunny in the top right corner.

Thanks Mike, yes the only difference is the crop between 1 and 3. Oops I could have sworn I cloned that spot out, oops Fixed it...

Here's one with a bit of foreground from the same area.

Is this Yorkshire?

Penrith area / Northern Lake District... That's pretty close to Yorkshire yes?

Love this shot better. What a difference some foreground interest can make. Keep up the good work!
