God bless Ilford... although the faults you found sound annoying.

Gut feeling is "wow" and I think it would be very unkind to pick holes in this image. But it is in critique so I'll just highlight one or two things that imo don't sit right if you view it for a few minutes.

from "Perry" above, there's not a thing wrong. Its the sort of sky you'd lie on your back and feel like falling up into. The tonal range captured in the rocks is second to none.

The rock with the names on is the only part I think looks a bit odd. It may be because this rock is not dead parallel to you (although this would probably have resulted in a shadow of yourself falling on the scene), it may be because the names are not as prominent as I somehow feel they should be, it may because the face of that rock appears to be being lit nearly head on by the sun, making the detail here less impressive than the shaded rocks higher up. I think its fair to say I would not have these criticisms had there been no carving on the rock. But had it been me, I'd have had those names occupying a much bigger part of the frame, whilst not sacrificing the wonderful rock formations higher up.

You're quite right to consider this a favourite, it is excellent.
