I actually was not originally planning on using this photo. I had already taken a landscape photo when I walked down this street and realized that the trees here seemed to curve outward, as if they were hugging the street. I've walked down this street many times before, and I have never noticed that! Maybe photography really is about learning to see.

I chose to photograph this street because I loved the way the trees on either side seemed to to be alive. The biggest challenge on this photo was finding a way to accentuate the trees' curves. In this picture, the curvature of the trees on the left side is apparent, most likely because of the bright background. The ones on the right, however, are harder to see because the stone background is just a bit too dark. Ideally, I could have increased the contrast in this photo to bring out the silhouette of the trees.
