Gorgeous image, but I do not trust that bridge. You really captured bleakness in the location - looks like the stream falls off the edge of the world.
 
Once again, simplicity done so well it ties my perceptions knots. Its beautiful. There's an intrigue for me. The mud looks good, but not inordinately sharp. 'Looks fine, looks good. But the stream and the edge of the stream look so real I can almost smell it - and it makes the surrounding areas seem less sharp, less real. 'Maybe just a coincidence of how the dof plays out, but even in the immediate foreground where the stream becomes slightly soft (moreso on the right than the left), it still projects intensity. 'Don't know if this is just the fevered hallucination on my part, but if there were some deliberate technique that produced this effect - its strong medicine. All machinations aside, its once again a really spectacular image, which is never surprising from your work.
 
The reflected sky/clouds in that still water is exquisite. and yes, it really sweet how the stream floats off the edge ...

Trust the bridge? Not too sure i would trust where Andrew had to be standing to take this photo, especially with an 8x10.
