Vision/Reality

While I have a couple other ideas in the back of my head in case this one doesn't quite work, I hope I'm able to achieve something close to my inspiration.  This is a perfect example of 'enhancing reality', without being totally implausible.  

Anytime I choose to edit a photograph, it's normally because the image does not quite convey the scene as I saw it.  The color could be muted due to poor white balance, or the frame wasn't quite lined up properly, or any other amount of things that can go awry when attempting to capture that perfect image the first time.  

This example takes a similar approach in attempting to depict not a person, place or thing, but an event.  I imagine it to be the equivalent of being able to have photographic evidence of your most outrageous story that you've told all of your friends, and yet they still don't believe you.
