More often than not, when I capture an image, I already have in my mind if it is going to be black and white or colour. This plant (I think is a type of Sedum) was intended to be black and white but I did hesitate when I saw the file as it is a wonderful monochrome of greens. It’s shapes I found very beautiful and reminded me of some William Morris designs.
Robyn from Captivate Me included me in the B&W Challenge where you post 5 consecutive B&W images and nominate a person to take up the challenge with each post, so this is my Day 3 of 5. In turn, today I am nominating StillWalks, whose images are taken from areas where I grew up. I must stress, this is NOT a have to participate challenge but something that might be fun, but only if you have the time and/or inclination and feel comfortable with it. It is also my submission for MMC 48 curated and hosted by Leanne Cole.

Oh, this is very cool… When I shoot B&W, it is usually with film..
Thank you as always. I started in film and am thinking of putting a roll through an old camera 🙂
Beautiful, I really like the toning applied to this image, fantastic.
Cheers Ben, glad you liked it!
Oh yes beautiful and I definitely see William Morris!! Especially in the green tones. Morris is a favourite designer of mine.
I do love the way you see things 😃
Good to find a fellow admirer of William Morris – I can spend hours looking at some of his designs 😀
Definitely!! I love his designs and studied him as part of my design course. He was such an interesting and talented man.
Also got to see some of his ‘own’ drawings and designs at the NSW Art Gallery in 2011. So timeless and beautiful 😀
Wonderful detail Lisa, a lovely effect……. so tactile!!
spectral and beautiful- at the same time great detail!!
