22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Wood Art

My husband brought in some firewood and I rescued a few small pieces before it was thrown in the wood stove. I saw what looked like a cap on one piece and also what resembled the profile of of a man's face. I set the " cap piece" over the "head" and turned it to the side to show the "profile". I used levels of colored filters in photo shop to bring out more definition. I shot this closeup on the afternoon of 10/27/2024 on our front step. I think wood cut from dead trees is really fascinating when it leaves an impression that can be brought out more clearly in photography for the art of it to be understood, ,
