My wife would put that on the wall. One of her favourite views is the Langdale Pikes

Just for giggles this is the only other shot I've taken in about two weeks!
White Moss woods near the Car Park and this is the Picnic area, benches submerged! Couldn't get the family of swans to stay still long enough for the ten stop ND...

Very fine capture indeed.

Just thinking Jules - why not try entering this in the 2014 'Take a View - Landscape Photographer of the Year' competition ? IMO it has the light qualities that judges look for and stands up well against many entries in this year's book.

Simply stunning Jules. Have you warmed it up at all?
Shot was taken around 1 P.M. By which time the sun is already dipping behind the hills casting some long shadows and it's getting pretty warm, at least the light is! I shoot on "Natural" so to keep a good dynamic range but the colours are quite muted, I tried to bring them back to what they were at the time. Other half reckons that it's about right and she, is of course right about absolutely everything! I used a soft grad to hold the sky back so I could get the sunlight hitting the reeds without losing the glow above the Pikes, just got back into using grads much to the other halfs disgust as she can't see why it takes me soo loong to take a picture in the first place. "You reckon you have the best Camera out there! Why do you need to put more things on the front of it then?" To be fair on her, I had watched a big rift in the clouds approaching from behind for about fifteen minutes, I hoped it would cross the sun and do something to liven things up, which it did.
