Burl

Burl
The challenge from Kali was to show texture in black and white and increase the contrast.
I was walking through the Botanical Gardens in Emerald and saw this gum tree with this huge burl on the side and thought that this would certainly show texture

[Susan Wakely]

That’s an impressive burl.

[Dawn]

[Kathy]

Pete you did well for this challenge.

@randystreat thank you.
@Dawn yes I had to give it a couple of goes late afternoon shade
@kali66 yes I think it lost a bit of the detail in the contrast
@wakelys I dint notice it at fist was mainly looking at tree texture

Nice black and white - the high contrast look is good. Plus I like the softness of the foliage.

[kali]
