My wife said to me that this was a B&W Contest and NOT a Manipulation Contest. With that being said I decided to post the Original in which Alice In Swampland was created from. Only this time the image makes NO sense as to Alice In Swampland but does look very much to me as the type of area perhaps Little Red Riding Hood may have taken to Grandmas House. A dried up cypress swamp bed in the middle of a forest. Beware of the Big Bad Wolf and the pointed cypress knees if you should fall. Have A Great Day! E J

"Grandma, what big Cypress you have."
Slap! Slap!
"Don't you ever call them Cypress again, Red. Those are just bags under my eyes. That howling wolf won't let me sleep."
I like it EJ.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

I had to chuckle at Tick's comment. I like the depth you achieved in this wooded cypress tree scene. Great textures also & nicely presented in B & W. Fantastic work, EJ.

Good imagination EJ - the only change in the story will be that instead of the wolf it will be a bad old senior croc in bed with big teeth (but small eyes). Good luck in the contest.

Great detail and texture but Grandma will remain by herself before I tramp through that with an alligator clamped on each ankle.

I love this photo VJ but I detect a slight greenish tint embedded in there somewhere:) Can we consider that a true black and white?? Just wondering one creator to another:):)

You left just enough green in this, to give it a very nice minty aroma...I mean look. Well done EJ.

Looks treacherous and those large cypress trunks look like monsters. Got my imagination going.

I like! In fact I like both of them... This one looks kind of sinister... How do you get to Alice's Swampland? It's a real eye-bender!

Laffs at Tick humour!!

B&W is a kind of manipulated work if you think about it!

however, this is a beauty for swapping!

I think I will drive to Grandma's House instead of taking this rather creepy path...but it makes an excellent B & W shot EJ!

Better be careful walking through all those cypress knees popping up. What a creepy walk to grandmas house that would be especially near dark

Outstanding shot E J

I don't think my grandson would come and visit me if he had to walk through these trees. I'm glad the way to my house isn't nearly so scary. Nice shot though.
