When I first saw this picture after it had been uploaded, I was struck by how much it looked like the brush work of French post- impressionist Georges Seurat. Here is a summary of his philosophy as found in Wikipedia:
" The emotion of gaiety can be achieved by the domination of luminous hues, by the predominance of warm colors, and by the use of lines directed upward. Calm is achieved through an equivalence/balance of the use of the light and the dark, by the balance of warm and cold colors. "
What this description omits is Seurat's use of tiny dots of complementary hues placed next to each other to create harmonious colors. Check out all his works here: http://www.georgesseurat.org/
BTW, this is SOOC, no painterly effects added.
Wow, I love this! Thought it was processed but see your note that it's sooc. It really does look like a painting and beautiful scene. Gotta fav this one! Saw your comment above and I'm a big Ferris Bueller fan, too :-)
