Young and Old

The giant Kapok tree (planted in 1933) in the Singapore Botanical Gardens provided this image with good framing. In contrast, the much younger tree on the right side of the picture provided a stark contrast in terms of size and colours. The natural lighting provided the scene with a good ratio of light and shadows. This is one kind of image which you would hardly be able to repeat again even if the trees are still there (since the younger one would have grown taller!). To be at the right place at the right time is always important in capturing an image with good visual impact.
