The greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see. John Tukey

 Walking to dinner, I was very taken with the texture on this tree, and once I made ti B&W, I started to notice contrast everywhere. Isn't it funny how once you think about something, you see it everywhere?





Though this one didn't work as well as it should have.

    the Black and white of the top photo make the bark stand out more.

    Love the bark. I took a photo last summer of my footprints in the sand, and it turned out so crazy! It was like the footprints were raised instead of sunk in. I had to google it and found it that it's an optical illusion called a "crater illusion" or "shadow-bias." Who knew? haha

      Museums often have this (the powerhouse did) but I've never created it naturally. How fabulous!
