SImple - but wonderful. I love the wooden bridge with all it's curves and lines. I would love to see the original and know what pp steps you took. I just never seem to get shots like this.
The lighting looks surreal. I'd be very disappointed if this was post-processing. The leading lines don't use their full potential here. You should have moved more to either side of the bridge. More to the right, I'd say. 7.
