Tales of the riverbank

Here is my take on this week's theme
I knew exactly what I wanted to do as soon as I saw the background picture, but from start to finish it changed several times. the reality doesn't always match up to the vision. I saw the miniature origami boat and so wanted to include it; then taking an acceptable picture was quite problematic with it being 3D. And whether to use a backdrop or keep it plain, as I ended up with, was also a puzzle. What do you think? I'm quite happy with the result but any critique for future reference is most welcome. 
Thank you to one and all for the fantastic comments again last week.
 I'm excited about seeing everyone else's 'Riverbank' tags as this week goes along.

  1. I think it worked out beautifully. I'm glad that you used the backdrop; it makes it look authentic. That is a darling little red boat and the dragonfly is lovely. 3D simply doesn't photograph well - I had a similar challenge photographing my tag.

  4. Thank you for the lovely comments ladies :)
    The boat wasn't too difficult Barb because I used the foil from a chocolate liquor, so it was very easy to fold ;)
