Trees All Around and Blue Skies Above (Black & White)

            After being cooped up in an airplane and then on a drive for several hours, it felt good to be outside and walking amongst the forest with tall trees all around me. It was just shortly after starting to hike to Hawksbill Crag that I decided to look up and noticed the blue skies above with the trees all around me. What I wanted to do with this image was something I've done with several others over the years and that is to capture the converging lines of trees coming together as I look above. It was only later when I converted to black & white using Capture NX2, that I noticed with some adjustments of colored filters that I could bring out a rich total contrast in this image.
