B&W Black & White, monotone and sepia

Don't blame you! If you feel like explaining it please do...as in the reflections, I mean. It's a very haunting, psychological image for me mixed in with Romanticism and mysticism.

When I took this picture I was concentrating on the sun highlighting the ears of the tall grasses in the foreground. When I uploaded into LR I saw the house in the distance and it gave the whole picture a different spin.

Just want to go on the record here to say that there are some excellent photographs in here. For some reason the software here doesn't allow me to keep seeing the active threads..and, thus, I end up missing a lot of new posts until time has passed.:mad:

I know we don't all have the time to comment on each photo that is posted, but I think that most of us do like to hear/read reactions when possible... So I'm catching up.

Isn't that cool when that happens? I don't know how often it happens but it has happened to me when I've been in such bright light (snow reflection) that I have only been able to hold my camera and hope that it sees what I see with my polarized sunglasses on. Great shot and I believe that the beauty of this image with the glowing Phragmities (those tall grasses) is only enhanced by having that house with its highlights in the background. It's a beauty, Christina. I wonder if you think you've found your camera? It sure seems as though you have.

Peter, I love Godzilla in the Garden and can't wait to see what Haruki thinks of him.:D

James - that has to be with your M8. I don't know what that building up so high is, but with its silhouette and those clouds...well I can't help but think it's a monastery. It may well not be but the image is etherial.

Dave, I never would have imagined a ceramic lei! For me your fourth image is my favorite - the placement on the canvas of your bathroom wall worked out really nicely. Your bathroom is a lot nicer than mine, no doubt!

And finally, pdh - a kind of Rorschach of light and darkness...not quite, I know, but I do find the extreme contrast to be very compelling. Just the tiniest raised evidences of, possibly, buildings, atop the curve of the hill's sweep make this one for me...with that glowing orb. Very nice.

It's not a monastery, it's actually an apartment building. A recent one that was built a couple of years ago. An ugly one too, I might add. The skyline could have done without that one. :(
 
When I saw Don's "cleopatra's needle" driving photo (my description), I had to call him up because I was so blown away by it. I still am this morning. Don, my birthday is coming up.;)
 
Wombarra Beach and rock pool, south of Sydney. About 10 minutes before "first light".

That is a very nice photo, if I took that photo I'd frame it and put it up on the wall.


James.... Organic!

haha your 'organic' response confused me totally. I don't know how my eyes were interpreting your photo but I thought that thing was some kind of a large structure outside your car. My brain simply didn't interpret it as a cigarette or anything like that! But I agree with BB and Andy, I like it!
