 This photo was taken from the Botanical Gardens at Golden Gate Park. It appeared to be the tallest tree in the area.

I chose a few simple edits to accentuate basic elements of a tree from the trunk on up to the canopy.

1) Levels
2) Brightness/Contrast
3) Shadows/Highlights
4) Hue/Saturation
5) Dodge/Burn
6) Watercolor Filter
7) Desaturate
8) Crop/Border

The conversion to black and white really makes this tree stand out. Cropped a little too close IMO

wonderful picture--the frame really detracts from it.
