The Bridge on the River Kwai

Comment by zeuszen:
I find this capture a little difficult to comment on.

The way it is rendered the viewer seems confronted by four almost disparate planes: the foreground, although apparently rich with crisply turbulent is almost unintelligible due to (what appears to be) excessive sharpness. The fog obsuring both water reflection and the feet of things (bridge pile-on, tree and shore) appears wonderfully silky with a nice tonal gradation from front to back. The bridge structure is partially obliterated (central sections) by processing (?). The treed shoreline (background left), however, pales as if placed under a milky film, when compared to the foregorund. It appears, as if differing post-processes were applied to parts of the image.

The image here shows a good bit of jpeg compression. I'd like to see the original. 7.

Why would an image like this have to be validated? Don't people know that is how this type of plant grows?

Healthy looking Venus fly trap! Very juicy. It's a good shot but slightly lacks atmosphere due to flat lighting. Shooting this early or late in the day may have added more drama. [7]
