Well I for one would happily hang it on my wall.
The three photos relate well to each other and balance each other. Well done!
OT: I hope you didn't get too blown about by the sou'wester today! I nearly had a branch on my head when walking the dogs

Lilly,
Great! Of course - we expect nothing less from you!
The first image is amazing - the backlit clouds and the reflection on the path!
It would easily stand alone as a wonderful picture.
Thanks for sharing

Very nice indeed, I might be inclined to swap the outer two around.

They're all good individually , but they work well together too. I love the textures.
The clouds make the first one, and the perspective the third. The middle one is more mysterious. Wish I could see it bigger.

I think I'd personally prefer the 1st picture on it's own to the triptych as a whole - it's the strongest of the three shots by far IMHO.
I quite like the idea of triptych's though - it's something I've been meaning to try as well.

I really like it, great shots.
The only thing I'd change is the sky in the central shot. Given that it's effectively framed by the arch I wouldn't think you can have such a moody sky as in the left picture as it would mean an overpoweringly grey shot, but the lack of any detail in the sky is a distraction for me. Looking at the photo, my eye is drawn to the area devoid of interest, rather than the area of great interest around it.
I don't know if it's possible to recover something from the sky in the centre picture, but just a little bit more would (in my opinion) be very beneficial.
Maybe it's just me, i don't know, but it's a great triptych as it is.

If it moves shoot it .... if it doesn't, shoot it till it does.

thanks for a very constructive comment re the middle sky, never noticed it before but now I see what you mean and will have a go and try and improve that area, I want to try and get this tritych right as I have plans for it!I really like it, great shots.

thank you Ken, I did think the same at the time but thought the two outer images seemed to lean in towards the centre too much, looked pointy rather than level.Very nice indeed, I might be inclined to swap the outer two around.

Indeed a very strong composition - very well made.
My first comment was the middle one - the sky. Then I read AdamP's note. I felt the same.
If you could add a bit of color to the sky -it would work wonders for me as well.
The others are just stunning good!
