The river

Comment by streetpigeon:
Handsome image that invites you to first explore the line of trees and the green parkland, then beckons you on around the bend of the beautiful blue river that's flanked by impressive cliffs. The painterly treatment is so subtle that I have a hard time discerning it. I like how the river goes from brown shallows into deeper blue water.

Size matters. This feels like it would have blown me away at 1200 pixels or more. Colors are stunning and the composition perfect. 7 for now. If I have time, I'll take another look and bump it up. ...or down. ;-)

This is a very stunning scene and very painterly to be sure without actually using a filter, or so it seems. In my top picks.

I never understand this kind of movement in this kind of places, so unnatural. But other than that a decent image with some nice light.

This "beauty" is perfect for the challenge. It's extravagant, immoderate AND over the top. Great shot.
