Thinking about contrast because my mentoring group is focusing on that this week, in b&w, and it led me to this photo. I liked the imitating trees and they way they mirrored one another in their trunks and almost the branches (both are apple trees). I processed in Silver Efex to increase contrast between trees and sky/ground.
No need to ask about the prevailing wind round there! I really like the way you've treated this subject Taffy, the b&w has accentuated the similarities of the two trees very well indeed.
@joemuli silver efex pro is DA BOMB! if you like to play with black and white - you NEED this software!
