When reading the children's story about the wind king allowing the pine tree to keep its leaves in the winter because he helped a bird, I developed a few images in my head. I drew a bird in a nest on a pine branch, appearing warm and cozy with two barren looking trees in the background while I was listening to the story for the first time. We then went out for a re-shoot to try and take some more usable photos for the magazine spread. I edited a few of them, but decided because the assignment is for children, I would choose my original green sky pine tree picture because I think it fits well.
