Beeson Covered Bridge, a photo from Indiana, Midwest

Photographer's Note

Parke County, Indiana (Home of the annual Covered Bridge Festival)

The Beeson Bridge was moved from its original location to cross Billie Creek - Next to a restored late 19th century Bille Creek Village.

Polarizer was used to get color saturation and minor adjustments in RAW/PS5 to enhance the image.

It was morning and I wanted to capture the stream in the foreground so the viewer's eye would follow upward to the bridge.

Hi Larry,
Nothing bothers me about this shot, the colours stand out well and your composition balances the scene very well. You've also picked an excellent time of day to make the best use of the low light, I like the long shadows and the dappled look the trees give to the surrounding fields. The small stream is ideally placed in the shot.
I love the "covered bridges" in the States, a visual reminder of days gone by.
Very good work.
Best wishes
Peter

Hi Lab

Again the light here is so beautiful and ethereal. The vertical frame is well chosen and the river leads the eye beautifully towards the top of the frame and red building.

TFS and I wish you a lovely day
Lisa
