It's a soft delicate light that makes these. You have timed things perfectly to bring out the gentle contours and subtle contrasts. No5 is particularly good in these respects.
It's not an easy area to photograph, because it's so.... Boring! But not here.

I quite like no 4, agree the soft light is very nice.
The second one I would prefer to see with a darker clear blue sky. I don't think the aircraft contrails add to it I am afraid.

Certainly worth the effort to use them (especially adding the ND grads to balance the sky with the foreground)Nicely shot Andy and glad to see the filters in use. I particularly like the first image

An extra dimension to this would be to catch this when there is mist/ a cloud inversion filling the Bowl; haven't managed one of those yet!It's a soft delicate light that makes these.

I agree about the contrails; I didn't look back to the tree often enough whilst i was in the area to see if the sky 'cleared' - I think I could have waited a very long time for that to happen though without other contrails entering the scene!
