Number Eighty-Three: The Tree

I was a bit nervous about the tree this year because Essie is not quite three and impulse control still isn't her strong suit. So far, though, she's been pretty great about it; only taking off a few ornaments here and there and being OK about having to put them back on the tree. She's started to realize, though, that I like to take pictures of special things and asks me to take a picture of the tree almost every day.

Of course I experimented with some of my apps and used Color Effects to take the colour out of everything except the tree, then imported that to Artist's Touch where I used the razor brush. I used a larger brush on the gray parts and a smaller one on the tree so that the tree really was the focus although I feel like the end result gives the impression of a brightly lit tree in a dark, abandoned house. Which is also interesting, so why not?
