visited Wanaka again and its tree for the 3rd time in a few months! hubby waded in to check it out, figured black and white was the way to go to deal with midday contrast!

Ah That Wanaka Tree! That is rather effective how you have soft focus on hubby and the trunk and sharp on the small branches and leaves!

@dkbarnett i was playing around with a tilt shift preset and liked the blur it created in the bottom left corner and top right corner - giving it a shimmery look that made me think of a mirage in a desert!
