I thought I’d try something a little different for Cee’s Black & White Challenge.

This is one of my favorite shots from Hawaii, but it didn’t come from some spectacular wilderness setting.  In the property next to a gas station, there was an interesting group of trees.  This was taken looking up from underneath two of them, but closer to the one on the left.  I love the patterns of the branches reaching skyward, and in color the contrast of the branches against the lush green with red flowers makes this work.  When I converted it to grayscale, it just fell flat.  And then I thought, what’ll happen if I click on Inverse?  The network of branches came back to life!
