 This picture was taken in the my college, FCT-UNL.
In front of the library is a stripped down tree that was painted blue by someone else. The sky was blue, and because it was a windy and sunny day, the clouds looked kind of scattered. These elements combined looked like a tree with a blue trunk and white and blue leaves.
I tried to bring down all the blue to make it less obvious and obtain an overall more dramatic lighting effect.

I love the shape of the tree and the tones used but the crop really seems to fight against the art.
