Old Romanic Bridge Captured By Night

RuiMLopes

WHILE DRIVING ALONG A NOT OFTEN USED ROAD, I FOUND THIS VERY OLD ROMANIC BRIDGE, BY A NATURAL LAKE, SURROUNDED BY THE NATURE. I THINK THAT THE SKY TONE ADDS TO THE OVERALL INTERESTING RESULT:

Great reflections in this shot. The subdued lighting makes it work well.

i really like the lighting... but it looks like the bridge doesn't make all the way across the lake!

and you are right! It´s an illusion. Actually, the bridge makes a curve to the left, hiding itself behind its visible part!

Gasp! How moody is this! the trees on the left are gorgeous!

Very neat photograph. Did you do a lot of PP to this, or is that how it really looked coming off the camera from a longer exposure?

Thanks, Eia. The trees were exactly the subject that caught my eye at the first glance!

Thanks for your comment.
Almost no PP except the need to convert it from RAW, therefore, adding some sharpening.
A sturdy tripod, remote, lower ISO and manual settings did it all.

Very nice, I think you captured the mood of the scene.
