Beautiful photo. Silly question, but did you shoot this with a polarizing filter?

Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture in Borgo a Mozzano LuccaTime
It was before sunset when I reached this location, so waiting for the sunset I started to take pictures to find the best point of view..Lighting
The sun was going down exactly behind the mountains, so the situation was perfect also thanks to the water's reflections..Equipment
I used Nikon D750, Samyang 14mm f/2.8, Gnd filter soft 0.9 a tripod and a remote controlInspiration
I like playing with lines, diagonals to find a strange and unusual composition. Add on it this place is very famous in my country, so I don't like to take banal pictures like that you can see on the web .. I liked to find something different..Editing
I use Ps Cc to edit my pictures: some adjustment in camera raw ( lights, shadows, colors and so on) , then clarity and tonal contrast in nik collectionIn my camera bag
I always have Nikon d750, samyang 14mm f2.8, filters gnd, a remote control and other stuff to cleanFeedback
I think that this image has one particularity : the combination of the light and the lines make it stronger .. I structured this image thinking about the combination of lines take the eye who observe right through the lights behind the mountains. So my advice is when you take a picture you have to observe and build a stage where light is the protagonist
