Photo: Reach for the Dream

Reach for the Dream — the red ornament [1]

I found this red ornament on the ground while walking with my camera, and was inspired to set it on a nearby tree branch and reach my hand out as a reflection. The ornament represents your dreams, and the hand represents your continued pursuit of them. Don’t give up!

Canon Rebel XTi [2], EFS 18-55mm [3], 1/80, F5.6, 55mm, ISO400, 2008-05-12T19:06:17-04, 20080512-230617rxt

Source image [4]. For this, I brightened the ornament while darkening my fingers, added contrast, a blurry glow effect, and stripped the background down to black and white (selective color [5]).

Free high-res stock image [6].
