Ethereal in the sunlight
A feathery weed in sunlight, monochrome highlights the structure and formation of each frond.
Spiky in monochrome…
A small cactus, the spikes weaving across the head, silhouetted by use of the dual tones.
The pattern enhanced by monochrome…
Playing with settings allows the pattern to stand out. Screw up your eyes and look at this, the depth of the tracery on the leaves stands out.

All of the photos are perfect for the challenge but I think the first photograph shows shadings beautifully.

Thank you. I’m a learner, so appreciate any comment, I did have another one of the weed bank, which shot into the sun, was sepia toned without any editing, but I left it out as I thought too many weeds may be too much!

Removing the colour changes the way we look at these plants, each having a distinctive attribute. Love the patterns in the last one, it becomes a beautiful abstract pattern.

Thanks Jude, I wished I’d have had better editing software to play around … on my wish list now!

PIXLR is a good basic editor and has lots of effects too. Free download. And as this is monochrome, you don’t need to do any editing if you see something that is all tones or hues of one colour. See my example next Sunday, that might give you some ideas 🙂
