Wooden bridge in wooded valley at Hardcastle Crags

This is one of the small bridges crossing the river at Hardcastle Crags, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. I took it in May this year. It's a mixture of autumnal and spring colours - the red leaves from autumn/winter still carpet the ground, whilst there are new bright green leaves on the tree in the centre. I loved the lighting contrasts and lines/patterns created by the sunlight hitting the bridge from the side and breaking through the trees in patches.

I cropped the image to straighten and centre the bridge, then reduced exposure slightly and increased contrast, to better represent the dramatic lighting that drew me to take the picture.
