3. These are quite lovey.

4. I like your shots in b/w but when I have tried converting my pictures of foliage to black and white, I have not found them to be as impactful as they are in color. I think I need some more experimentation 🙂. In the meantime, here’s what I could do for this week:

5. Monochromatic mushrooms!
   That’s really interesting

6. Coincidentally I have featured plants this time – I like the B&W because it shows the sculpture like structure of these forms – the moss ‘flowers’ are heartbreakingly beautiful

7. These fungi look luminous!

15. Beautiful. I find it particularly evocative in black and white.

    1. That’s great to hear, thank you Florin.

16. Lovely forest

    1. It is gorgeous there Beth.

17. Measely is never a word that comes to mind when I see your photographs. Good, strong, well done, and wow(!) are the words that come up. I think these work very well. I especially like the mushroom shots.

    1. I think you are being too kind, but thank you very much.

18. I think they work just fine, Leanne.

    1. Good to hear Lois, thank you.

19. Not measly at all! I think they’re lovely, Leanne!

    1. Thank you so much Kellye, that is good to hear.

20. They work because there’s enough contrast. Although I still like flowers in color. My challenge for LAPC this week will show one in black and white.

    1. Thank you Anne. I’m a bit the same about flowers, then I see the work of others think, whow they looks so good. I will have to see if I can spot it.

21. I think your single toadstool? mushroom? works very well. If the subject has enough power due to shape and shadows monochrome can work very well. Ansel Adams did some interesting floral work in B&W.

    Here’s my offering:

    1. Thank you Brian, It is interesting to see what works and what doesn’t. I loved Mapplethorps B&W flowers. I really should try picking some flowers and doing more photography on them.

22. Something magical about monochrome and your title “Monochrome Madness”, is very apt. Perhaps these and some of your color photographs with some of your writing can be made into a coffee table picture book. You can self-publish them via sites like createspace to keep your costs down. I wish you well. You are an uber talented photographer!

    1. Thank you, though I did a book once before, it was a lot of work and no one wanted to buy it. Not something I would ever do again.

    2. Ah ok. Understood!

23. Great take

    1. Thank you Jeremy.

    2. You’re welcome

24. They are very beautiful in what I call black and white, Leanne! Your skills are amazing. ❤️

    1. Thank you John, I wasn’t sure, but good to hear you like them.

    2. You bet, Leanne! 🤙🏻❤️🇦🇺

    3. haha, thanks John.
