Thanks for all the great comments. Happy to do this well in a Free Study. And, yes, I used Noise Ninja when I didn't really need to, and it probably cost me some points. I'm still learning!!!

i love how the road stays over to the right on the whole image - very dramatic

Striking shot, shame about the overexposed clouds. There's certainly enough shadow detail, I would definitely have brought the overall exposure down to keep detail in the highlights. Not sure about the placement of the horizon... it doesn't look like it was a deliberate decision to place it just below centre. PP has enhanced the textures of what may have been an okay photograph to one with more impact.

the grass looks odd to me. almost as if a noise filter was applied and it took all of the details out.

looks very good. I like the greeen grass and the blackness in the sky. I think the clouds could use a bit more contrast to darken them some but that' just me.
Good luck.

Wonderful scene, I like the perspective and the leading lines of the road. Clouds are a bit blown out in spots, but nothing too serious.

Nice capture with great colours...but whats with the Neat Image?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the overall composition of this alot - the winding road and the rolling pasture land is lovely. It appears, though, that a smoothing function of some kind (noise reduction, Neat Image, blur etc) has been used which has left some kinda muddy sections and removed some detail.
