The Tired Warrior

Pine Hill, NJ

This image is from another oak tree on our property. I took it and pushed the brightness and contrast until I had what I liked then removed all the color from it rendering it a black and white sketch. It is a picture of an ancient warrior looking up with this sad and tired expression on his face. His body seems to sag and legs are splayed under the weight. I enjoy this new found photographic expression. It is freeing me from having to continually find new pictures of the same old places. I feel like I'm having fun again.
