Skeleton in Scarecrow Village Display at Dirleton Castle East Lothian Scotland 3 of 5

I look at the image and see a tower and flagpole that have differing opinions of which way up is, oh yes there’s a skeleton with an arrow in the neck too, don’t mention the modern communication device in the space of the crenelation crowning the tower. The scarecrow with wings is a very effective addition to the Dirleton scarecrow village wide display. I did see the skeleton first, but before enjoying the beautifully boned subject of the picture I had to take a peek at the areas I might try to alter. I see a communications-aerial-box-flat-disk-inflated-casserole-dish thing in the crenellations and that is not conveying the aesthetic of the potential picture that I have in mind. I find shrouds of clouds and flagpole de-wonking tools. After hiding and straightening I seek out my current favourite Oils and Pastels effects. Suddenly there are 5 edits available to view. After just a photographic touch of affection I can enjoy the completed edits looking less modern and also appreciate the original with communications-aerial-box-flat-disk-inflated-casserole-dish thing in the crenellations perched for purpose fulfilling the role it is intended for and a tower and flagpole that have gloriously differing opinions of which way up is.
