After the fires

Going back to try out some ideas. This was a scene captured after the Christmas fires of Wylie 2 walking amongst the burned forest. I wanted to capture just the essence of the spent forest rather than the reality with a ghostly figure wandering down the track perhaps in mourning for the forest or looking for signs of a rebirth.
A powerful image. Fav

@ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana, movement blur in the background, cut out person and re applied with lowered opacity, a few colour and luminosity tweaks.

@maggiemae thanks for the lovely comments. In fact all motion blur was courtesy of photoshop so he didn't have to hold the pose:) also thanks and same comments for @yorkshirekiwi
