The face shouting at us through a mass of trees comes from a huge black and white billboard. The leaves, photographed with back lighting, were black. The only color in the scene was a bit of green translucence on the edges of some of the leaves – color that added nothing to the image. When I converted it to black and white, the image became unified and coherent. The shout becomes even more surreal when the reality of color yields to the abstraction of black and white.
