The Bridge and Brook
Uploaded: April 15, 2007 15:04:05
The bridge at Moore State Park - Paxton Ma. This bridge overlooks the pond and the start of the brook and holding pond at the park.
Adjusted contrast, saturation and used some BuZZ.

Nice composition and a good use of the Buzz filter, Dave. The waterfall looks great. Of course, I would have saturated it a touch more, but you know of my problem. :)Remi Trepanier April 15, 2007

Out of everything you've done - these painted works are just brilliant! This one and the waterfall one are probably my favorites out of your whole collection.

This is a Classic, David! Great scenery, composition and colors! The Buzz works well but I bet it also looks great without the effect. I also liked your Sunset Silhouette. Great colors! #4383757David Pratt June 14, 2007
