'Different Paths'

I find that tree fascinating for a long time now. Every time I pass by, I take a look at it. Quite often kids hide inside enjoying their time. I guess it is one of those places where the childhood magic happens. The feeling of "wonder" is a very dear one to me and is often a source of strong inspiration. Makes me really pleased that it does come through in this photograph.

One cannot oversee the strong connection between the door standing in the middle of nowhere and the tree's 'door' that also lead nowhere. Sometimes we are just too sure that we are taking the right path without thinking ahead of all the possible outcomes that we find ourselves nowhere in the end. But, then again, if we've taken a completely different path, we could've ended in the same place, nonetheless. Most of the times it is not good to dwell on our past mistakes but rather do the best we can in the moment of "now", so we can secure better outcomes in the future. I'm not sure if it was original intention to express that idea when setting up the decorations but it surely is in my photograph.

A festive setting takes us back to the holiday mood. But, bichromatic limitation of the colours takes away the Christmass feel and moves the atmosphere toward wonderous and maybe even magical. There are only two colours in the lighting setup: the tree and the door are lit in tungsten light which is represented almost orange and the cyan on the door and a bit above it. All the small lights in the background are balanced as white. There are no other colours, meaning that the atmosphere was achieved mainly by lightning and white balance setup.

Enjoy! :)
