I took this photo of a tree on campus. Sycamore trees are one of my very favorite kind of tree. This one is not a particularly beautiful one and I didn't think much of the shot until I looked at it in thumbnail -- so small as to be somewhat reduced and abstracted to areas of color. Then I began to warm to it. This is the original photo SOOC, and I still do like this original, but I started to play around with it, first in Photoshop Elements, then on ribbet.com. One of my favorites of the results of extreme transformation through processing is posted here on the date following this. http://365project.org/mcsiegle/365/2014-11-09
