Walking through the Schwarzwald is actually not so hard-going: much of the way is gravel track. At this point, we were crossing many small ravines using these wooden bridges, which although a bit beaten and overgrown were still fairly sturdy.
This image is, of course, highly stylised. I’m not quite sure about the outcome, and think I might have done a better job, but I’m pretty pleased overall. There are lots of layers and effects involved in this one, so if you want more details just ask about it in the comments.

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).
