"A Clydeside Boardwalk"
"I have to confess, I have something of a soft spot for the River Clyde, Lanarkshire and the town, actually The Royal Burgh, of Lanark. Just a mile or so away from where this photograph was taken.
This charming walkway provides visitors to The Falls of Clyde from New Lanark through the Falls of Clyde Nature Reserve, managed by The Scottish Wildlife Trust."
This is what I wrote to describe this autumn or early winter riverside scene when I posted it on Flickr on the 16 December 2017. It was well recieved with, so far just under 500 views but 22 Favs and a sprinkling of comments it can be viewed on the page by following this link
However an autumn scene was not what was on my mind when I shot the photo in early October when the leaves were still very green. What I did have in mind was an HDR shot. Si I took three exposures one correct, one under and one over here are the originals:
Ten_36701
Ten_36702
Ten_36703
With the intention of later producing an HDR something like this -
"HDR Boardwalk"
However as often happens, other photo projects got in the way and this went by the wayside. But then I found I had nothing to post just before Christmas which I had timed to celebrate my 2000th photo on Flickr (yes it was The Redhead, but more of that post later) Looking around in my archive for something suitable (it could not be The Redhead) I stumbled over this and thought, Indian Summer Filter and as if by magic the finished result, as posted appeared. It did of course help that the trees in the forground are fairly young so did not have many branches or leaves.
I would be interested to know which photo you prefer,
"A Clydeside Boardwalk"
OR
"HDR Boardwalk"
