Comment by streetpigeon:
Many people don't appreciate this kind of hyper-real type of processing, and I'm often of that cohort, but in this instance I find it to be perfection. Here's where myth and fairy tales are born, emerging from an intensity of life and vision that encourage belief in magic for those who can feel it. How happy to wander through this world.
The 8 I gave this image is obviously paltry, and sorry for a hasty decision. Still, it's my personal favorite of the challenge. Thank you.
