Picture of the Day – Ghost Tree


This image is from someplace inside Zion National Park, up in the higher elevations of the park. I liked the image when it was in color and was doing some enhancements when I decided to try out a new plug-in filter I just acquired for creating black and white images.

Using a digital orange filter, I darkened the sky and brought out the light clouds. The tree then took on a ghostly image that was not there in color. Instant love!

Being more or less retired these days has given me the time and inclination to stretch my creative juices further than ever before. Also, it helps that I am sort of trapped inside most of the day because of the incredible heat here day after day.
