Verynice shot. I would not have guessed it was HDR without the caption.

A very nice scene with lovely colors

Fantastic capture. Makes you want to walk across the bridge to see what is further down the road. Great exposure and colours.

[Geoff F]

Yes, this works well. The brightness is nicely constrained without having over dark shadows.

And a good camera angle.

pretty!

You did this HDR thingie very well, Neville...I used to be disenchanted with some overdone HDR hence I had not really venture into it, but you inspired me to do and test one of my shots from yesterday. I will see if I can process it as good and like the result as I have seen yours here...this is such a beautiful shot...

[NorthernFocus]

The HDR is really handled well as is the rest of the processing. Nicely done.

[Rebel]

Very nice Neville, looks like a nice place!

[Dave A]

Thank you to all for feedback.

i have come back to your shot a few times. i keep having the same thought... what a pity that there is not a tilted over, moss covered, very old headstone some where in this shot. There is a leaning over something at the left end of the bridge... is it a headstone?

Good scene, well captured and processed, Neville. I reminds of the kind of pictures we used to see calendars - back in the day when we had physical calendars.

I would have to kill someone and bury them here for that. Too much trouble just for one picture! It is actually the stump of a tree that must have grown across across the road and was chopped off.
Coincidently there is a small church (Anglican, Church of Ireland) with some old tombstones just about 100 meters away behind the trees on the left.
