Saturday's Assignment

DSC_6038, a photo by scookster on Flickr.

Make a low contrast photo today.

Changing a color photo to black and white feels like I am cheating.  But when I looked at examples on the dailyshoot site, that's what seems to be the popular choice.  This photo actually was a decent one for low contrast except for the sky.  If it hadn't been cloudless I think I could have kept it the way that it was.  Even still, the lightness of the sky probably detracts from little contrast that there was.   Light brown trees in the foreground against dead straw-like grass in the background.  In the distance is a train but even that seem to blend in. Darn sky!
