When I saw this image in thumbnail, I thought it was a manipulation, but now I see that it's all real. That bridge is suspiciously well-placed to form a beautiful diagonal line that meets the horizon just in the center of the image. The left-hand tree provides the balance the image would otherwise need. Oh, and the colors. Wow.
10/10 - it is a masterpiece. Just too good to be a desktop. I would print it frame it and hang it on the wall. Excusite and well studied colour and object composition. I love it.
Not hard to understand why this could be mistaken for a CGI or a painting with so much appeal in the scene and everything so well placed...great ambiance and fabulous colors too...excellent shot.:Pat.
I have to admit that I was fooled as well, first seeing the thumbnail. The composition is so strong. It almost looks contrived, and I sincerely do not mean that as a slight.
And I will add a small dissenting opinion ... without that bench I would love this image that much more. The dimensions are hard to place otherwise. The colours ... well, 'wow' is very applicable.
Such an incredible eye, such a gift. Really really great work.
It's the leaves that make this picture amazing. The coloured leaves all under the bridge and on the trees blend so well and give a warm feeling. Just amazing to view. Though the number on the bridge is a bit distracting...
