[TheReal7]

I really like how the colors came out in this one.

I like it. Sorry I have no critique :)

Awesome colours, and the sunset on the rafters is top.

The only thing I'm picking up on is the it's sloping a little to the right, not much though.

Thank you!

Thank you. I thought that as well as the dike along the river indicates that but it is actually level. I was sitting just a bit lower then the dike which is why, I think, it has the illusion of being tilted.

Gorgeous!

Hi Scott

I think whats confusing me is the base line of the cloud in front on the horizon, if this is straightened, then will the support legs lean a little too much.

I love the lines and colors. No need to change a thing, IMO.

[MattMoore]

Nice lines and the colors really do make this picture.

[DerekSimon]

Now thats a nice shot. My only negative would be that it isn't on my wall. :-)

[ijetmx]

That is a great shot ! I agree with the above, want it on my wall as well.

[Bill Boehme]

Very nicely done.

[mjmackinnon]

It's a very nice shot. A smidge too much on the vibrancy. I was a bit confused about the blue on the other side of the bridge.. Is it snow?

Composition wise. Top notch.

Matt.

In addition to everything already said ^^, what I like the most about the shot is that there are different points of interest/detail in various portions of the scene for the viewer to discover .. really great shot!

[jsinon]

Perfect! Print it, done!

I thought that I should expand on my previous brief comment.

The actual color of daylight varies much more than we realize during the course of the day because our brain "knows" what color certain things out to be and then makes automatic corrections. The AWB function in cameras tries to do the same thing in order to keep neutral colors neutral, but in the process of doing so, the flavor of the time of day created by the light is lost and we are then left with an image that conveys things, but not time of day. One of the beauties of being able to process raw images is that the white balance has not yet been "baked in" which gives the creative photographer the ability to present what he saw in his mind's eye. I think that you have the ability to see more than just the objects in the scene -- you also have seen the light that produced it.

Lovely photo - superb light.

Have you considered cloning out those branches at the far end of the "tunnel" (I know it's a bridge) on the right? My eye wants to go right to the vanishing point. Just a thought.

I think it is an excellent photo. Was this HDR?

[TheReal7]

Thank you all so much! :)

Thank you. I know what you mean. It wasn't until I was in the final stages of processing this image that I noticed the fiery orange reflections on the leaves in the bottom left of the image.

Thank you very much. That is pretty much how I approach processing my images.

I hadn't but thank you. I try not to clone things out unless it really bugs me. I guess that branch wasn't bugging me enough :P

I think it is an excellent photo. Was this HDR?

Thank you. Yes it is. I took a total of 6 exposures 2 stops apart for this image.

Fantastic shot, Scott. Seriously. Don't change anything in it.
