Silk Painting

This is a tree branch against a very foggy sky at today's playground outing. Black background frames it quite nicely, in my opinion. I pumped up the contrast and highlights to make the background whiter. I like how it reminded me of a silk painting.
Thank you for visiting! Hope everyone had a nice first day of 2016!
Oh, by the way, and the date in EXIF data is wrong since it was my husband's camera and it's set for 2012 for some reason. July :)

It looks chinese in a way and thats probably why a silk painting comes to your mind! Quite enchanting on the black!

Thank you so much for leaving a comment for the "Silk Painting" picture - means a lot to me because it is my favourite for this week for sure. Although, I think it is time to get unstuck from the black and white, which seems to be following me this week. Thank you so much for your time!
