Stour Bridge
This is the bridge at Sturminster Marshal in Dorset.
The river is the Stour, which rises in Wiltshire, and enters the sea at Christchurch/Mudeford.
I am glad the horse riders were crossing the bridge, as it gives more of a country look, and adds scale to the picture.
I also added an extra layer and gave it a slight blur to give a sense of movement in the horses.
Thank you for looking.
Hope you like it.
