Austere black and white of a forest trail from a worm's eye view showcases detail normally hidden, makes the ordinary beautiful.

---

This austere image of a forest trail from the perspective of the wilderness' smallest creatures brings details into focus we normally step right over, and uses light and shadow, shallow-depth-of-field, and black and white coloration to bring beauty out of this ordinary scene. The tranquil composition makes this image stand well on its own, while large areas of blurred out detail make it perfect for large bodies of text. The image has a certain sophisticated perfection all the more remarkable for its humble subject of stepped on leaf litter.
