23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Eye of an Apple Tree

An apple tree wished to see...To his surprise he grew two eyes of blue. He said the earth he can now bless, for two eyes open are better to see the view than one eye less:-) I really had fun creating this picture for the Art category by turning one side horizontally to face the other side in photo shop I noticed there was a little cavity in the bark of the old apple tree in our yard and from what I observed, designed an eye in photo shop and increased the saturation for it to look blue..I shot the original picture the morning of May 14, 2025 with my Nikon Cool Pix P 1000 . It wasn't until September 20th that I gave the tree picture a new transformation.
