I like how the colours separate the image in two halves. Although I wonder whether that's done in camera or postprocessing (knowing you, probably the latter).

Symbolically, we could assume the red part to be the past, the greenish-blueish part the future and the middle the title of the image, the »Now«. Or vice-versa for right-to-left writing languages (which I'm sure Polish isn't, though). However, that leaves the tree, and thus the focal point of the image, either slightly in the past or slightly in the future. Which might make the message »Focus on things about a month in the past, or a bit in the future«. The latter might be more useful, usually.

I'm interpreting too much here, right?

I still like the image, and its colours. Although I do wonder what that thing is where the tree is in. Wait a minute. The tree is not in that thing at all, it's just focus trickery! It's in front of the tree! Kasia, deceiver of eyes! Trickster of minds!

Okay, then I just wonder what that thing is, without relation to the tree.

The original picture was separated into two halves as well, though more by value and saturation than colours: Now - original  
I enhanced that effect, I did not make it from scratch.

Well, isn't what we take as "now" usually more than it is? Including a bit of the past, a bit of the present and a bit of a more or less non-existent story... whether it's left-to-right, right-to-left or a combination of both approaches. As for the tree - the past may be read as linear, but the future, not necessarily. Perhaps it could be read more like - guess what - a tree! With each branch corresponding to a possible change or choice. Then the "now" would be the moment of making a choice or a change happening, reforging the many branches into one solid trunk of the things that have happened and cannot be changed. (All of it assuming that the past is solid and real, and our perception of it does not change it.)

Of course you are. And I am, too. I made it all up as I went along.

It is in front of a tree indeed, and it's just a bench. (Benches are superb when you don't have a tripod!)

Oh, the different colours can still be readily seen in the original picture, just a bit less saturation.

So we both made up stuff, essentially guessing or lying to ourselves Scary thought.

And a bench! That's a surprise. My first thought was something vaguely cone-shaped around the tree. Then I noticed that it might be in front of the tree, in fact. So something vague cone-shaped in front of the tree. But only now I noticed that it's actually wooden planks receding into the distance. In hindsight it was actually fairly obvious, especially with depth of field. But maybe my eyes are just easily-deceived
