The picture was taken in the late afternoon on a bright autumn day, at the bank of the Danube in Lower Austria. I used an uncoated lens, since the slight blurredness caused by the chromatic aberration fitted in with the delicate colors.

Peter, it does have a nice, soft, pleasing look to it. Very serene. A lone duck or something would have been ideal, of course, but even as minimal as this is I like the feel.

It sure is Peter, It has a nice warmth to it. The picture has a very film look to it which is good considering you shot it on film. It reminds me of spending time at the cottage which I don't get a chanced to do anymore, thank you for that. Cheers

This is a very pleasing image, Peter. I feel that it might be missing something, but I'm not sure what. So I will appreciate it as is.

Peter,

Very nicely titled as this surely echos that sentiment. Very difficult to display the fine nuances of lenses and even film on the web, so honestly it's really hard to critique that value here. But I can certainly appreciate the scene as you have captured and presented it.
