This year I have started to look for and photograph banyan trees on purpose. The trees above are not from my current home of St. Petersburg, Florida, but from my distant past home of Cape Coral. I chose this unusual composition and framing purposefully by positioning myself so that the background tree would be clean (not overlapping the foreground tree). I wanted to exaggerate the distance between the trees as well to create in my mind a duality. To me, the foreground tree is how one sees a tree in actuality, while the background tree is how one sees a tree in one's mind.
