Thank you @bitcoinman I was in the mood to take a long time preparing this one and I'm glad I did as I feel satisfied with how it turned out. Actually I made several permutations of images with your photo that I thought were... just okay so I kept experimenting. I'm still novice with digital manipulation but I try to use slightly different techniques and expand my toolkit each time. I'll definitely use some of your images again in the future! Thanks for reading and glad you resonated with the piece.

I think you are on the right path experimentation is key, keep on expanding the toolkit, I think your editing is already very good. What kind of tools do you use ? Do you use a phone or computer ? either way I would not mind sharing the tools I use if you like, next Sunday for the never ending series I will be posting a video of the behind the scenes process
