Autumn at Longshaw

I took a 'detour' on my way into the office this morning, having seen some great recent images of the spectacular autumnal colours at Longshaw. I had to get wet feet to approach close enough to the duck pond to achieve something close to the composition I wanted. The images comprising this panoramic stitch were taken with me perched precariously on the second bar of a fence that runs towards the pond (the end of which I've cloned out of this image). The early sun on the turning leaves created a stunning show of colour and in post-processing I've actually reduced the contrast and saturation of the 'as-taken' RAW file. Other than the wet feet, the only other disappointment was that the stand of trees to the right of the image perfectly obscured Higger Tor.
