Photo Diorama

[Sumpter250]

That's the great thing about pictures - they "see" things like that that we can't!!!

A fellow model railroad club member, no longer with us, used the "unbiased eye" of the camera to model prototype scenes.
He would take color slides of the "finished" work, project them on a wall, and pick out the obvious "flaws". After those were corrected, he would repeat the process, finding "new" flaws. He usually repeated the process three to four times, before he was satisfied with the way the pictures looked.

A small stream, flowing into a larger river, isn't normally modeled, but you've done that, and done it well!
Nicely done, and nicely documented!
