ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Shot in a park in New Orleans with my Infrared convert camera. What captured my creative attention was the landscape with a beautiful old oak tree bringing shade and comfort to a family enjoying their picnic under the shade. It gave me a sense of peacefulness and joy and I hope it does the same for my viewers.
