A Compromise in Composition by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

A Compromise in Composition

Jay challenged me to take a high contrast black and white photo, and I just don't see in black and white through the view finder (as he asturely noticed!)

Pottered along to Portchester this afternoon it was cold, gloriously sunny with a crisp blue sky and clear light.

So Jay, I really wanted to sow off that blue sky and the castle keep, but to also get the high contrast. As I had my glass ball with me, and I've learnt how to edit and turn it, will this do as a first attempt at your challenge??

Three good things

My house is spotless (ashamed to say I found a 60 sparkle in a nook or cranny!)
Hula-Hooping starts again tonight and was great fun but hard work
Jokes told by the butchers are still of great, corny quality

love your three things and the photo. Clever to turn a portion of it to B&W for your challenge

I have found my best B&W photos are taken in the mid day sun. I get the sharpest contrasts that way. Give it a try

@jaybutterfield will this count? Not seen blue sky in ages and it went yucky grey!

@grammyn goal today was to clean the accumulated grime but the lure of the sun this afternoon was too much and I had a 365 challenge to do on my day off so I downed tools and went out in the sun. I'llcertainly use that mid-day tip, thank you Katy

Very nicely done. I know its not the challenge but I would also try the other way around, B&W background with the colour in the globe 🙂

Interesting processing and take on the challenge. I'm glad you said you'd flipped the crystal ball, because I was looking at it thinking "that's not how crystal balls work" having played with mine yesterday for my Get Pushed challenge and confused my setter by the flipping.

Great job, I like what you've done with this!

Very nice edit. The B&W does add mystery to this.
