This tree is from the same Royal Oak park, notice the characteristic lean, and was taken in early evening with the sun low in the sky. This time of day, with the sun setting, is one of the best times for picture taking. The lower angle of the sun increases shadow and texture, and the light takes on a warmer tone than what you typically see during the earlier hours of the day. There may be no better time to take advantage of the wonderful natural lighting available to us than the next few weeks of autumn.

Tree View Two
My previous post featured a tree converted from color to glorious black and white because black and white offered a better rendering of the subject matter. Oftentimes a monochrome image allows for greater emphasis on contrast and texture. But color, in the proper lighting situation, can do the job just as well.
