It was a very nice day today in London with some great low-angled sunlight, so me and lil' Harvey with camera in tow, took a walk in the local park, and I spotted these trees.

Your trademark unusual angle Paul, and a lovely shot and conversion. Interesting to see an autumnal shot in monochrome when most of us would automatically use colour!

Best wishes, Kris.

Thanks, Kris.

The trunk and limbs interested me more than the leaf colour, so that's the reason for the B&W. I liked the leaf colour as highlights against the blue sky in B&W, too.
