Welcome to the Schwarzwald in south west Germany! This is probably the most famous forest in Germany, and is the home of the traditional cuckoo clock. (It also gives its name to Black Forest Gateau, but opinion is divided on whether it actually originated in here.)
As you can see in the ‘before’ photo, it wasn’t quite as sunny as this image might make you believe: an ominous black cloud has been removed, and replaced with beautiful clear skies. I also changed the angle a bit to straighten things out

You certainly take a good photo and what we find interesting is the way that they can be altered to improve what one actually sees, if something is in the way (like the troublesome tree) just get rid!! We suppose that being able to change the colouring in a photo saves a lot of time where one could be waiting ages to get the correct light or shade, for example in the sky or water etc, clever. Keep clicking away Michael.

Thanks! That’s the power of modern editing software, like Adobe Photoshop. You can do in seconds what might have taken hours with traditional dark room processing (or might not have been possible at all).
