Stone Bridge - Manassas Battlefield Park

I'd like to see this a little sharper and possibly even with a touch more color saturation. The left two images are my favorites; nice theme with the leaves moving down the river and under the bridge. The third image doesn't really seem to fit (I had this happen with my entry, too).

Congrats on your top twenty finish. Excellent shot and composition with vibrant and crisp colors. I think I saw this old buggy this past summer when I visited Chancellor Park. Way to go

Comment by glad2badad:
Well, this is a nice welcome surprise (the final numbers that is)! ;^) Some questions as to the composition and why the entire wagon isn't there - the wagon tongue has a post holding it up that I found unattractive and distracting...so I composed without it. From the angle of view I needed to keep it in the image and hoped it would act as a leading line? This POV also allowed me to include the sky which added some nice color with the sloping tree line.

Anyway, for those that liked it - thanks. And for ALL that commented thanks to you as well.

Very soft focus and the clouds have midtones (reddish/purplish noise) coming through. I think your composition is all wrong because the only thing is sharp focus is the bush on the right. The border adds nothing but another distraction to the photo.

Such a lovely site but technically, this could have been a lot better.
