Sunburst through Autumn foliage over walled path

I took this yesterday on a walk from Hebden Bridge over the hills to Stoodley Pike, Todmorden. The sky was grey when we set off, but the sun came out as we climbed the valley side under the trees. By the time we reached Stoodley Pike a couple of hours later, the sky had turned black, the wind whipped up and it started to rain! A lovely walk, though.

Lighting conditions were tricky with no tripod or filters and I had to use a high ISO to keep aperture small and shutter speed fast. Post production, I used a graduated filter to reduce the highlights in the patches of sky, then increased exposure and contrast overall.
