Like many photographers, I am fascinated by Black and White imagery. Removing all color from a person, a scene, or an item both strips it of a certain sense of vibrancy, while simultaneously emphasizing features and contrasts that weren’t visible when viewed in a full-spectrum.

But doing it well is hard as not everything works in a monochrome world.

This one I feel does:

Taken on the same afternoon as the previous two posts, while there were no real image goels for the day, at some level I was in a bit of a contemplative mood. This remains of this Monterey Cypress Tree hit all the right feels for that, with the twisted trunk creating a nice mix of highlights and shadows then tend to pop when the color dissapears. This and the Santa Rosalia image from the same day are both some of my favorite recent pics.
