Scary Tree

I took this photo a couple of nights ago when we went out for dinner with friends. I took it with flash and all I did to it beyond that was to crop it slightly and convert to b&w. I wanted it to look a bit scary. Hope I achieved that.

When I was a child I was always scared at night in the car when the headlights shone on the trees. I probably need therapy now ha ha.

@beryl @tracie8266 @leestevo @jackie8 @888rachel @hermann @dgrynn @dianeburns @sioux @creampuff @april16 @eyesmile Thanks so much. I was quite pleased how this turned out by just using flash. It was almost black and white to start with because of the flash, but just changing it in photoshop really added to the scariness of it. Really took me back to my 6 year old self when I used to be in the car on my way home from Nanna's and the headlights on the trees through the woods were really scary.
