Real picture or photoshop enhanced ?

Fake, for sure. Why is it that there's a sunset and even still the grass looks like it was taken from a golf course at noon?
 
actually the grass has both light and dark properties, shadows from each individual blade fall on the next one but it still gets lit brightly since the sun is still at a high enough level to bathe the light. it looks like a real enough shot but i think the color properties may have been photoshopped.
the grass on the backsides of the hills in the background are darker as if enough light isn't falling on them, while the level ground is the foreground is having the light cast upon it. the sun isn't too low to create this lighting.

real photograph, PS enhanced.

With the sun that low, wouldn't those hills be shaded?

At best it's two photographs... one of the grass, one of the sky, shopped together. If a sun is that low, it doesn't matter where you are at, the sky will not be blue... not even close enough to blue to edit to make it blue. Orange, pink, purple is the closest you will get.

they are, just not to the extent you think they should be, but nevertheless they are.
it looks like a long exposure come to think of it. the colors present in the sky should actually be darker if it had been a short exposure, and the grass looks like it has light falling on it but can easily been seen as 'night colors'.
its hard to explain why it looks the way it does, but thats definitly a long exposure photograph. if im wrong, someone is crazy good with lighting effects in 3d or just a master at aftereffects in PS. But I stand by it as a long exposure, real photograph.

They are slightly dimmer, but not enough. I've stood on golf courses with the sun setting just like that, and the little hills are always much darker. Not to mention that the grass is usually more of an orange color.

read my above reply. the colors wont be the same because in long exposure more light is available to hit the film, thus resulting in an image the human eye wouldn't be able to see at the same spot the camera was. im color deficit so i can't comment so much on what the exact colors in the sky are, but they look like the sky is actually much darker in real life at that spot BUT more light strikes the film thus making the sky seem brighter but keeping a similar color pattern.

The grass could, yeah. But typically golf courses have sand pits, flags, and pathways all around.

Looks like St. Andrews ..


Does the sky there look a bit different than our typical US latitude?
(close to Nordic extended days/nights)


I think it may be Iceland too
