amazing appearance with this 3d effect - did you use something like a center focus filter to get this effect (the background looks a bit artificially blured) or is it simply the great DOF that makes it?
Colors are also amazing.
I am still not a big fan of in-picture text lines (but this is my personal dislike - not a real criticism to this great picture)

Super colour and detail Jim. Did this beast come down the M1 to get to Derbyshire from Scotland?

It's just the superb DOF on the 55-300 plus some high pass filtering

They seem quite a popular breed in the Peaks David, probably because they are resistant to the harsh climate
