I took this photo at Rancho San Antonio, one of my favorite places to go hiking. The original photo turned out much too dark, so I used Screen mode in Adobe Photoshop to brighten it. I tried to center it in the frame when I took the photo, but I also cropped it afterwards to make sure it was as symmetrical as possible. Finding symmetry in nature was harder than I expected. I found this tree towards the end of the hike that day. It’s not perfectly symmetrical, but I think that’s part of its beauty.
