is enhanced by the b & w tone. Very nice.

It's spectacular in a way that I find difficult to describe. Stunning. Wonderful.
Well, I could go on, but I think you get the idea....

(14,559 posts)10. Those are words of high praise, Peg.
Thank you for the encouraging words.

The outlines of the leaves really make the picture, don't think it would be as dramatic an element in color. Very nice.
AndyS
(14,559 posts)13. Well, even the color was very subtle. Light grey/green with a yellow highlight along the edges.
At the risk of self aggrandizement it's sorta' Edward Weston-ish I think.

(14,559 posts)15. Thank you, Grumpy!
Some things just call out for the subtle tonality of monochrome.

AndyS
(14,559 posts)17. Thanks. I should spend more time looking for those
subjects that lend themselves to monochrome. It's fun to play with the filters for effect.
