A Bend in the River......a Bend in the Clouds

This is the Red River in North East Texas, where the cattle drives of

old were without the luxury of bridges.

This is great I love it nice hdr

Almost more of a digital painting than a photo. This has great feel to it. I love the weighty clouds pressing down against the colorful landscape.

you almost feel like your breath is being taken away here.

 

wow!

The swirling stormy sky and bright light on the river give this force. Nice to see you back.

a nice transformation... beautiful, Doug

Very good ps work (or hdr). I like the exaggerated look! The clouds are the best!

WOW! beautiful capture and really love those clouds. I notice your comment about the old cattle drives and wonder if this is along the old Chisum Trail of so long ago. How cool that would have been to drive cattle up to Kansas for a " Buck a day and vittles "...RAY

Perfectly composed landscape Doug with nice mythical atmosphere.

Very interesting chromatic and texture editing.

 

What a wonderful scene and tones painting it ++++

The colours, the mood of the sky and the promising bridge makes this a most wonderful image... congratulations...Bert

A really beautiful composition, Doug!

A very favorite place for me, and you've caught it, and offered it as an emotional masterpiece. Thanks for that.
