Opposites Attract!

The weather has been wet and cloudy. So when I shot this photo of a barn and beautiful tree, the colors were faint and didn't contribute at all to the scene. So I thought, why not make it a black and white image. It looked much better in B&W, but still didn't have the punch I felt when I viewed it. Just for fun, I tried a negative and 'voilà'! There it was, just what I was looking for! I wanted something to make the tree stand out, because I found it so attractive. Making it a negative got what I wanted.
Whoever said that ‘opposites attract’ was right! And I turned a negative into a positive! :)
