Another deceptively time consuming image.

To take the photos I walked behind the back of the bench and took them in a sequence parallel both above and below. This becomes a nuisance when you put them together as you have a lot of the bench and ground and foliage close to you but the background with cliffs are just not going to fit nicely together. I knew that but you leave it till you have them to see how it might work out. And it worked out in rather a cluttered manner.

The one thing that I decided to clean up was of course the bench and that took a while, straightening and filling sections. I didn't have the photos to do anything similar for the rock face and foliage nor the desire to fiddle with the problems of matching varying colour tones. The result has the upper and lower sections fractured and the central section not really put together 'correctly' but sufficiently to allow the spectator to think it is a whole.

The large cliff face with the dwellings becomes dwarfed by this man made object and becomes lego sized.

Below is a version before I had completed worked on the bench.

Something about the proportions of the scene and its incidental parts makes me think that it was never going to work. I stopped where I stopped.
