My attempt at the postcard shot of the little bridge by the museum in Somesville, Maine.

Beautiful, Scott. Apparently you got this before the weather turned crappy.

Heck no. But the fog had thinned a little bit and visibility was up to 200 feet.
:-)

Thanks!

It's not an attempt. It's a postcard!
Lovely leaves in the foreground to the right floating in the water guiding our eyes towards the bridge and over it to the house.
The reflection is very beautiful and the leaves prevent the image from being simetric, thus even more interesting IMO.


Cheers,
Jaime

I like this image. It almost makes me miss this part of the country but I know what's coming. But nice shot. I like the play of light on the trees in the background.

Superb! The hint of color really adds to the scene! This was not an attempt, it was a success :)

Thanks for the comments!

This really is a famous postcard shot, probably the second-most famous shot from Acadia National Park. It's been overdone by a million photographers.

But, as I always say, I don't have a shot of it.
Well, now I do.

I really like that Scott. It is a lovely shot.


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.
