know this looks a bit terrifying, but I assure you no children were harmed in this shooting Cassa and I were at the park playing and I asked her to jump from this wall (which was only a few feet ..and I added more in PS) and asked her to look like she was falling ..and she ,loving to have her picture taken , was a great sport! Afterwards I thought how this looks so much like Alice in the Well , that I played with it in PS to give it this impression.

Used dodge and burn and grunge brushes , also used the high pass filter.

Thanks for any and all comments

I like it - maybe too much stone work on the top? the cloning is a bit obvious

made some changes, not sure if they are for the better or not, added more texture and tried to make the stone cloning less obvious

Outstanding! Love the detail (aged effect maybe).

I wonder if a little motion blur on the wall would have added to the effect.

excellent capture

Thanks JD, I am thinking since the well is not moving that would not be effective, but I do appreciate the suggestion!
