I believe that it is a photo because a painter would have done a better job to make those trees on the left a little more interesting.

Looking at the shot, it could be very straightforward. The shadows show a very early morning with fog, end of november or around that. I see this kind of light very often in the fall when the nights get colder. But there sure was some kind of postprocessing. Or maybe it was on film…you know the stuff we seem to forget was there before digital...

I think the barbed wire gives it away as processed digital. It is all but gone on the left side and the right side for that matter.

It would be a bit difficult to ask permission to post the picture since he died a few years ago. I was a bit surprised I was able to copy the picture myself. It is a photograph rather than a painting. I'm just so envious of this guy and often wondered how one reaches such notoriety. I guess if one does something for their entire life they would eventually get it right. Ansel Adams was more famous for his Black and White photography but he did a heck of a job on this one in color.

Ansel Adams didn't take this photo, David Sauro did. Read the page I added to the first post: 2012 Photo Contest David won the contest with this photo in 2009. It took some Googling to find this information.

My apologies. I must have misread the information I was looking at. Either way it’s photography style I would like to aspire to.
