A lot of things make good test objects, and sometimes it’ll turn out to be really funky (at least I think so 😉 ).
So we were out hiking and came across this branch. I thought it may look good in black and white, with the patterns on the stem and everything. Tried some things when I got home, but it was basically a boring image without much potential. Until I started messing around with it in Photoshop.
So here’s the original:

Quite boring, no?
But then, after like 10 adjustment layers in Photoshop it turned into this:
Same as above, but with "some" adjustments in Photoshop.
It’s hard to tell a dog that there are appropriate sizes for everyone.
Especially this particular cutie seemed to be determined to bring back anything you threw away. I tried with a log I just managed to lift and he went after it and tried to drag it back. To no avail, of course 😀

Me and my better half spent the time around New Year in my old hometown in Holland. Surprisingly it was colder there than it was in Finland at the time.
Made for some nice scenery pictures with the frost on the leaves and the bright lights in the sky.
