Last week on the way home I stopped off at Anderson Park to take some pictures.  When I got there I found these fantastic tree socks decorating loads of the trees.  I was really pleased with the images I shot, so today I went back to take some more pictures.

When I got there the sun was starting to go down so I had to work fast.  The socks were still on the trees so I started working the scene looking for a strong composition.

The park not only has trees but also has a number of wooden log huts.  Some of the trees were close to one of the huts so I walked around it taking pictures.  I found one position where you could just see the setting sun between the hut and a tree and shot that.

When I got home I was really pleased with the image but I wanted to do something to kind-a make it pop.  I know that black and white images that have selective color are considered a little tacky, but I tried it with this image and liked the end result.  Lisa did too (and she is always right) so I left the image that way.  I think the park looks great in black and white and the socks really stand out, as they are the only items in the image in color.

I think Carter is trying to build some body mass, this evening I caught him pumping iron muttering, “feel the burn”!
