Alternative Autumn Walk

I often process images in a variety of "styles" but always dial back when uploading to my usual look - I'm interested to hear opinions on my alternative images, they take a lot of experimentation and effort and I'm now happy enough to show them.

Please be honest, don't hold back or try to be gentle - if they are not for you then say so (but please say why). I'm often scathing of images I see on Flickr (and other places) when I think they've been processed just for the sake of it, or to extremes just because they can! I've processed like that in the past but now very few of my final images are good enough in my eyes - so have a look and add your comments....

The first one has me captivated

I do so like the independent bookshop image. You've taken a number of shots of that which all work for me. However, that first one... Awesome.

The 1st one, from an animal's eye view, is quite fascinating, The unusual processing goes very well with the unusual view.
