The enchanted wood

Mostly I think nature does a grand job without any enhancement. Just occasionally I feel like experimenting a bit and this is a multi-layered image. I combined a spray of autumn leaves and a texture, overlaid on the woodland image below (which by itself is rather boring really).  The result (above) has, for me, a more mystical and enchanted feel than the original. I appreciate such images aren't everyone's cup of tea but it's fun trying something new. 

I've been reluctant to say farewell to autumn, but I have to accept that it's over for another year and winter is getting well-established!
