Just joking of course... This couple were kind enough to pose for me for a couple of frames in the woods.

Which version one do you prefer? I am using a demo of the alien exposure 4 so I may have overdone it with the effects in the BW version!

Extreme C&C please.

You will notice that in the b/w version, your added frame camouflages the branches in the center at the top, whereas in the color version, they intrude into the actual image. They upset the near/far balance you wish to create (intimacy versus what lies beyond). If you take the file into PS and clone out those mangled branches (including the one lone intruder towards the right top), it'll result in a cleaner, unmediated duality between what is near and dear, and what is far and foreign.

That is a very good point. I did see the branches and tried to remove them in LR but I did not do a very good job, so I gave up. I do not have Photoshop but I downloaded a demo and will play with it.

Thanks for your suggestion.
