A wonderful shot, Thad, and excellent post-work. Great point-of-view, and I love the colors. The green trees and the subtle blue tint to the water are a great combination, along with the touches of white provided by the ice clinging to the rocks. A great winter landscape, without all the snow!
I like the slight use of FDR in this one Thad. It really compliments the scene. It is not difficult to see where they got the stones for their bridges.
The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Excellent post work, Thad. It's said that easy: "A three-exposure HDR', but I suppose that only a few people realize that one must have the required skills to do so. Very well done, my friend! Regards, Cornelius.
