I posted this image about 10 years ago. You may not have scrolled back that far in the blog so here it is again. Driving through New Norfolk in Tasmania, this tree was some 100 metres from the road but stood out. It resembled a crazy person to me at the time. What made it more interesting was the passive cow standing nearby. Mad cow disease was in the news around this period and this image seemed to reflect a reversal of roles.

A side note - in the conversion process from a colour image, I’ve been using a baseline starting point, and this is useful whether you’re processing for either colour or B&W. Instead of selecting Landscape, Vivid or even Adobe colour, in the profile option select Adaptive colour. Check out Mark Denney’s explanation on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KijswhEgovs&t=2s) for a detailed explanation as to why this is a more useful option. You will need to start out with a RAW file to make use of this setting.
