I have never realy understood the need for black and white images when they were taken in colour, but today I thought I would give it a go.

It doesn't work, does it.

i know what you mean about black and white I find it very difficult to 'see' in mono.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very cool.

Thought I was seeing double for a moment - know what you mean

It might have looked cool with some selective coloring- like making color lines go up to the b/w crayons, or vice versa. mho- it's just a bit static with them stacked there. Could use some dramatic lighting and maybe all on the same plane. Well, I think it's a beginning.

how clever to put the coloured crayons into B&W,

[Colleen]

Love the feel of this!

[AC]

Great job and use of b&w!

[Katia]

So simple but yet so effective! :)

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Very nicely done Bulldog - cool shot!

[Karin Hirsch]

It does, great shot

[Sue Hawkins]

My son is colour blind apparently a lot of his world looks a bit like this funny thing is he would be able to identify the colours of the crayons for you!

Ya know...it ain't all bad!!

I like the way it brings out the waxy textures but I love that I live in a colored world and I seldom even think about doing a conversion - I have to agree with you here.
