Refreshing Tribute

For the "Whispers-of-Autumn-" challenge  at
Whispers of Autumn ChallengeHello Artists of the Castle...
Here in the US, we're coming upon the Autumnal season. I LOVE this time of year, though I have to travel to another state to actually SEE the leaves change. Those of you in the middle of Winter or other seasons-you get to REALLY use your imaginations. I chose this theme as the changing of the leaves and season seems to inspire many of us to creating, yes? So here we go with the details:
The requirement for this challenge will be to show us a manip that includes a model. You MAY use a 3D image but consider that the more artistic effort that goes into your artwork-the more likely you are to be a winner in the challenge.  The idea can be a design type of image OR a scenic one but it MUST be indicative of Autumn/Fall. The model should be the focus in either design or scenic.
the theme does NOT necessarily need to be "sweetness and light."  Remember there ARE the dark whispers to Autumn as well.
