Mono Monday - Focus

Initially i took a full length shot of this tree because it looked fantastic. Then I took a closer look so i could focus onto the wonderful structure and emphasise that even more. I think its a casuarina cunninghamiana tree. Check it out in Large as it really looks great with the black background! :o)

When I converted it to mono it seemed to lose something so i played around with a few ideas and inverted the close focus which i thought really emphasized the lines and the lovely fluffy ends of each line.

Thanks to Ellaphant for hosting MM ;o)x
