In the original image, two hunters wait for the opportunity to shoot waterfowl, scattered bullet casings littering the path behind them. Brush on the pathway is crushed. The sky is gray, and aside from the occasional pop of greenery -- nature seeking to come through human destruction -- the bullet casings are the main source of color in the photo.
In my remix, the greenery has overcome human influence and pollution. It is once again bright and thriving. Animals have returned to the area, with the emerging doe, and human use is limited and respectful -- depicted by the woman quietly reading while leaning against a rock. The pathway in the remix is recreated with colorful, blooming flowers, leading the way to a new cooperation with our environment.
