Sorry. I like and identify with the sentiment as written but the picture as presented is a total turn off to me. I happen to prefer realism.

Clickety, for some of us old guys, that picture is still reality. Although my wife sees a time we won't be able to continue to live here approaching. As far as I'm concerned, I'd stay right here until they carry me off in a pine box. Not everyone lives in a large city. I'd like to add a photo but my computer isn't cooperating for some reason.

I like the picture, it looks like a scene I may have experienced at some time in my younger years. That was a time when life was simpler and people were more cooperative, supportive and sociable than today. Made those days more happy and memorable in my mind.

Do you prefer the gaudy oversaturated over-sharpened hideous style that appears so often in āmodernā images?

Contrived or not, it's a great image.

Just because I don't like the processing doesn't mean it's not a great, meaningful photo to lots of us old folks. If I knew when I retired what I know now I would be living in a place like that

So true
But as I get older I keep my tricks to my self and giggle at those that haven't figured it out .
One thing I will ask Did you get your kids the hard way? the result is nearly always a dumb look.

No, I do not prefer prefer āgaudy oversaturated over-sharpened, hideous imagesā
Being raised a country boy, and having seen many similar settings, I know dirt roads donāt miraculously turn into a paved road with curbing in the middle of the country, Iāve never seen a mailbox suspended in mid air, And I donāt know of a farmer who if forced to use a tree limb as a fence post would allow an errant limb to extend out into the field perpendicular to the fence as a hazard.
As I had previously stated, I appreciate the sentiment expressed, however, because this was posted in photo gallery, I expected a āphotographā. While this is an attempt at a bucolic country scene. This is not a photograph! Iām not going to unwatch the thread because it doesnāt distress me.
I feel it was a misrepresentation, a not very well executed attempt at compositing or an AI generated image. Thatās my opinion, and I did not mean to offend anyone. The only distress I feel is for people who look without seeing or comprehending what they saw.

š I felt that too at first glance, but then I looked closely.
