A life in the Tropics #1

I have been nominated for the ‪#‎blackandwhitephotochallenge‬

 

Thanks Sarah Smith. This is great. I having been posting regularly for a couple of months now, what with landscaping our veggie garden in time for spring and training for my new part time job as a wine tour guide.

 

Luckily, I've just come back from a trip to Fiji with a bunch of images to process. Approaching them in mono will be an interesting challenge.

 

It was the plant life in Fiji that captivated me. This tree, in particular. It's a palm, with sinewy limbs that branch out at crazy angles rising to a spiky, green canopy. I thought I would add some extra limbs. This image is actually a panorama composed of ten shots of sections of the tree and 24 shots of my arms in different positions, which were then masked out in position or hidden.
