On a train ride through the Kent countryside I caught sight of a dead tree standing like a pale skeleton against the wood behind. Separating the tree from the background was possibly the fiddliest bit of Photoshop work I've ever done, but it let me play around with different ways of emphasising the elements of the picture. Not sure how well this attempt works, but it is vaguely hinting at what I was trying to achieve.
