Description

It is Autumn and the sun is setting casting it's warm rays over the forest. The trees are beautiful in the sun's golden light. Long shadows are cast across the trail. A hiker is on the trail heading home after a long hike. His head is down and he has ear buds in his ears and is listening to music.
The hiker has just visited the pond and had a snack so that he can continue his hike and go home. A bear has just ambled out of the forest to get a drink and the bear is so focused on getting a drink that he doesn't see the hiker going down the road and the hiker doesn't see the bear and the hiker also doesn't hear the bear.
The background image was taken at Union Creek in Southern Oregon. The Autumn trees were added by using the render trees tool. The Hiker and bear were composites and both were from Pixaby Images. I used the Flood Filter for the pond and reflection. This image was processed in Nik Color Efex Pro and Topaz Impression.
