What's missing? - a bit of fun!

that was in answer to Joh..... on second thoughts... .

There's a heavy shadow at the top of the lake. Maybe a building or platform on piles. I did wonder if Rik had relocated the stand.

possibly a mast or building removed from amongst the trees to the rear - maybe even the tops of cars on a road ?

[Rik]

Paul: I have not removed a building or a stand or stand.

Steve: Nothing from amongst the trees or cars or roads.

May I please give a clue and hopefully it will not prove to be too easy?!

Clue: I did not remove the object(s) itself.

I think if this turns out like the length of rope, Rik could get escorted to the lake..

to the tree by the lake

[handrawn]

well I was about to say youve taken a whole chunk out of the 'middle' because them birds in upfront look might big in comparison to them people, but there could be a photographic explanation for that I guess

[Rik]

I stand by my question about the thread, by the way.

Hopefully, you will not be taking me to any trees by the lake to anything unmentionable!

So, please think about my clue: If I did not remove the object itself, what could I have removed?

[handrawn]

stand by I am just consulting my book of seafaring knots [and we are not talking about speed measurement here you understand...]

[handrawn]

I still think the perspective is wrong - you could have removed that I suppose.. shortened the fairway but not removed anything?
