Hello Lewis! I didn't touch the colours at all in The Golden Road, so I am not sure what you think is lost! This is in a mining community where the sands are rich and no one really travels!
That is what drew my attention to take the picture!

Thanks for the comments on "The Journey". There was no retouching done on the image other than balancing the colors slightly. I see what you are talking about, I think. Are you referring to the foreground and the highlights in the brush? If so, it had just finished raining about 15 minutes before this image was taken and what you are seeing is the light backlighting the water droplets. Thanks for visiting my gallery come back as often as you like.
Going barefoot is the gentlest way of walking, and can symbolize a way of living.It's the feeling of enjoyment beneath our toes...it removes the barrier between us and nature...(AdeleCoombs,Barefoot
