 "Whenever you see darkness, there is extraordinary opportunity for the light to burn brighter."
---Bono

I have always loved Simms little tree in darkness and knew that one day, I would try an image solely inspired by his incredible image. So thanks heaps Mark for inspiring me to do something a little bit different. Here is Mark's image.



I used a real tree out of our garden and glued it onto one of my plates before turning the smoke machine on in my daughters bedroom. Holding the remote in one and the torch in the other, I played with different angles.

Well done. I re-scored this after viewing it a second time from a 7 to a 9. Its a unique picture, and you even got the root structure. Well done.
