Beauty in the details, and decayIf you stop to notice, MN (Mother Nature) can get pretty wild with the colors. This photo’s a close-up of a decaying tree stump, not something you’d normally think of as beautiful. In post-processing the saturation was slightly bumped up, a little sharpening added and a mild crop, otherwise it’s as captured. Early morning sunlight provided natural highlighting for the golden yellow in the scene.
We walk around day-after-day seeing our world from our familiar perspective, often leading to a lost of awareness. Think about getting closer, backing away, climbing up, climbing down and simply looking around — find those special things…they’re there.
More awareness of those wonderful things around me is one of the many gifts I’ve received from photography.
We escaped to the cloudy, foggy, misty, rainy, sunny North Carolina mountains this weekend with friends. On Saturday it was one of those days where if you didn’t like the current weather you need only wait a little while or drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway a piece for it to change. The day began early with a mountain vigil for a sunrise which never broke through the clouds…
very sweet colors and focus works perfectly well ;)
You sure found one here. Very well done.
I agree with you, Earl, “More awareness of those wonderful things around me is one of the many gifts I’ve received from photography.”
I like how you’ve taken the ugly and make it beautiful. Nice job of judicious use of processing programs.
