A Photo a Day #10

In Hope of Spring

My portrait lens worked its wonders here. There's something I really like in the contrast between the dead foliage juxtaposed with the colours blurred in the background. This dismal January weather is really getting me down at the moment, so I played around with curves a tad when polishing this up. The bleak quality is still evident, but the red postbox in the background and colours on the leaves and buildings bring some much needed colour to the scene.
