I really like the mood to this picture. There must be something universal here because it reminds me of the land around a cottage I spend a weekend at in Newfoundland.

I've posted a workshop where I try to increase the existing detail in the closest land forms. I may have accidentally made the farthest land seem closer, however. I hope you like it.

Great pic.
