what makes this plain scene attractive is the presence of steam and the amazing tone of blue. I love it. Also the clarity is very good. Congrats.

Hi Lukasz, i just found this 'beauty' at your gallery! What a wonderful composition. I love the fresh greens and the aquablue refleting into the steam and also like the combination of the textures. The filters did a good work here.
Best regards
KIks
