B&W Juxtaposition

[Mike Buckley]

The background is the U.S. National Museum of African American History and Culture, which is under construction.

Nice texture capture.

I like this image Mike because of the contrast between the branches and the textures.

Thanks, guys! This style of image is not for everyone but I saw and like the scene exactly as Dave described it and because of the connection between the tree and the bright areas of the background.

Hi Mike , this is a nice image on its own and I like it But your explanation made me look for the museum in the BG and I got completely distracted from the image itself So, may be it is better not to mention the building in the BG at all.

Thanks, Binnur! If I hadn't explained the background, I would be willing to bet that someone would have asked what it is. Then I would have had to explain it anyhow.
