at rest

for a brief moment this morning, the light was awesome... but it needed something besides the tree and foliage... hence the bike (mine)... :)

processed from RAW and cropped in LR5... converted to black and white in nik silver efex... can't for the life of me remember the details ;p

tx all for the continued views, comments and favs!

[summerfield]

well, i could walk to oshawa if i wanted to but not in this heat! :-)

the bike introduced good contrast between light and dark - the tree would be too dark by itself! Good decision!
