Stone

Today was yet another day with limited blip time. I detoured briefly on my way home to look for something to shoot. I saw this random stone sitting on top of a gate and could not help but wonder who put it there (I didn't). Given the patterns of wear, it appears to have been there a long time. I shot the original in color and felt that it would be more intriguing in B&W. Selective color was a last minute addition.

I like the contrast of the round stone and straight lines of the gate and tried to highlight the difference using selective color on the stone.
