Challenge: Fairy Tales III (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-550D Rebel T2i
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: East Africa
Date: Sep 23, 2010
Aperture: 5
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/60
Date Uploaded: Sep 26, 2010

 Behind my house there is a river that is mostly dried up this time of year, leaving the washed out roots of this tree exposed.

This shot required a lot of processing in Aperture to make the boy and the tree stand out from the bland background.

Love the colorization here. Like the way the child's smooth skin is such a contrast to all the other textures going on.

The thumbnail SO does not do this justice. What an incredible image. The pp is exceptional and the boy is such an incredibly strong and vibrant element in this complex image. Bravo!!
