14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
A Palm Tree

This is a picture is a close up on a fairly odd palm tree (not pictured is the large flower off the top of it). The movement of the palm fronds was very eye catching. I hoped to accentuate that movement by modifying the photo to highlight some of the color in the tips of the fronds in a way that reminiscent of a firework explosion.
