Are those logs real wood, because they certainly look the part?

Actually, I have this friend, who is a Hollywood special effects make up artist, and.....
Yeah Jack, they're the trunks and limbs from some bushes around the area.
I'm really liking the way the backdrop adds to the photo, not bad for a cheap framed print. I might have to check out the "home furnishings sections" of the local Target/Walmart/Menards,/etc. to see if there is something better for that diorama, and leave the original on the wall where it belongs.

I was going to ask you about the backdrop - but you already answered that! What about the reeds in the river?
