Description
This was one of those throw-away shots that was supposed to be as impressive as the tree, which is one of a number of old banyan trees gracing the Vinoy waterfront park in Saint Petersburg overlooking Tampa Bay in Florida. Even though the original photograph was disappointingly bland, I thought it was a good subject to show the "before and after" of heavy digital post processing - which I purposely exaggerated here in order to submit the image to the icon contest for the transformers group on FAA. Problem was, I really love the right half of the picture now. Until I can rework the original shot to try to approximate the treatment for the whole tree, I am posting it just half done. However, as it stands at the moment, I thought the title I gave it is perfect - here is a bland photo of a glorious tree, and the observer in the picture seems to be looking at it and seeing all the beauty.
