Believe it or not, I still have more pictures from our Monday day trip. Here you can see the main house in the background while the towering pine takes center stage. It isn't a very attractive tree but it has a commanding presence. I definitely would not take cover here during a thunder storm.
Lovely timeless image! ...and how can it be that I haven't been following you after all this time! Let's remedy that immediately! I'm delighted to be back with you all!
@phil_howcroft I really think the sepia works here to create a timeless image. What really pleased me and was quite unexpected was what happened to the blue sky and streaks of white clouds when they were converted to sepia. Rather a startling effect, don't you think?
Nice shot- sometimes taking those color shots and putting them into a monochromatic format changes them for the better- this one has a really great antique feel to it thanks to the sepia. Nice processing and picture.
