Idyllic River Scene

[Mark Nadler]

I found this scene so idyllic that I had to capture it.  It reminds me of British river landscapes.

Looks very relaxing and peaceful.

Yes, reminds me of a Constable painting, the subject, the colours and the rural tranquillity of it.

Don't know if I wouldn't be tempted to crop a bit off the top sky, just to make it balance a little more with the depth of the foreground. But other than that tiny nit-pick, yes very peaceful and idyllic 

UPDATE - no, I have looked at it again and now I like the depth of the sky. So as I believe our American friends would say "Go figure?"

Great shot.

kers, thank you for your comment.

Dave, I played with different crops and this one worked best.  Your comment on how cropping the sky changes the image is right on.  This type of scene to maintain its effects has to be a bit distant from the viewer.

100% agree.

100% agree.

I also agree, this was my first thought.

[MattBurt]

Yes, I like the painterly effect as well. Nice.

This picture reminds me of the place I grew up in. It's so relaxing and peaceful. Thanks!

Bozzdivine, may I ask where you grew up?  This scene -- I believe -- is from southeast Ohio.  I don't remember the exact location.
